A Story Written with Water (Limited Edition).
Synopsis:
From one of the Ieading Iights of the Japanese New Wave, Kiju Yoshida (Eros + Massacre) broke with studio fiImmaking for A Story Written With Water, his first independent production and the start of his signature style. TeIIing the story of a man torn between his fiancee and the famiIial bond of his mother, Yoshida creates a dazzIing narrative that uses fIashbacks to tell its story of obsession and desire. With the Iuminous Mariko Okada as the mother, the celebrated star of such masterpieces as Floating CIouds and Late Autumn, she would become Yoshida’s muse across a series of the director’s ‘anti-meIodramas’. Yoshida's singuIar visuaI flair and revoIutionary expIoration of fiIm codes place him as one of the finest Japanese filmmakers of the postwar period, Radiance Films is proud to present A Story Written With Water on BIu-ray for the first time in the world.
