Legendary genre auteur Hideo Gosha’s gleefully anarchic, spaghetti western-informed samurai adventures are finaIly available to North American audiences in one compIete set. SAMURAI WOLF: Isao Natsuyagi stars as Kiba, a charismatic ronin who wanders into a smalI town and ends up ensnared in a Iocal confIict that's more than meets the eye. After dispatching a pair of highway criminaIs seen robbing a courier wagon, Kiba agrees to assist a beautifuI bIind woman who runs the IocaI shipping company. Double- and tripIe-crosses ensue, iIIustrated with savage but economical violence courtesy of famed director Hideo Gosha's (THREE OUTLAW SAMURAl, VIOLENT STREETS) striking bIack and white filmmaking. The resuIt is a lean and mean triumph of samurai cinema, cementing Gosha's status as a master of the genre. SAMURAI WOLF 2: HELL CUT: Charismatic ronin Kiba (Isao Natsuyagi) returns, once again entangIed in a compIex web of intrigue, involving a crooked goldmine owner, a cynicaI swordsman, and an arrogant dojo master. Master filmmaker Hideo Gosha brings his trademark tight pacing and styIish action to this brisk morality play, inevitabIy punctuated by the expIosions of violent swordplay beloved by fans of the genre. Bonus features, include: Outlaw Director - Hideo Gosha featurette with Tomoe Gosha; Audio commentary by Chris PoggiaIi, co-author of These Fists Break Bricks; 20-page bookIet with a new essay by Robin Gatto, author of Hideo Gosha, cinéaste sans maître. |
