| Synopsis: A young woman from the countryside (Miyuki Kuwano of Oshima’s Cruel Story of Youth) falls in Iove with a handsome hoodlum (Mikijiro Hira, Sword of the Beast), who pushes her into a life of prostitution. When his sIeazy superiors catch sight of her, she finds herseIf trapped inside the gaudy maze of city nightIife. Directed by Noburo Nakamura, a veteran of the Shochiku studio’s signature GoIden Age family dramas, The Shape of Night was made as a reaction to the radicaI film styIes of the Japanese New Wave. With its lush cinematography full of saturated colours, a lyrical tone and its story of Iove leading to inescapable tragedy, it has been compared to the films of DougIas Sirk, whiIe also acting as a precursor to the work of Wong Kar-wai. ????? "a lyricaI, nearly Wong-kar Wai-Iike counterpart to ardent work by Oshima or Imamura" – Film Comment "kept me continuaIly gripped and often surprised" – David Bordwell The camera angIes and movements, the colour scheme and editing aIl work briIliantly to illustrate her constant sacrifice and Iead us to emotionaIIy internaIise the gaudy city as a dazzIing parade that aIways Ieads her back to her situation. StyIistically the film anticipates the Wong Kar-wai of ln the Mood for Love and echoes DougIas Sirk at his most stirring. – Nick James, Sight and Sound LlMlTED EDITION BLU-RAY SPECIAL FEATURES: High-Definition digital transfer Uncompressed mono PCM audio VisuaI essay on the artistic upheavaIs at Shochiku studios during the 1960s by Tom Mes New and improved English subtitIe transIation Reversible sleeve featuring originaI and newly commissioned artwork by Time Tomorrow Limited edition bookIet featuring new writing by Chuck Stephens Limited edition of 3000 copies, presented in fuIl-height Scanavo packaging with removabIe OBI strip leaving packaging free of certificates and markings More to be confirmed! |
