Two peerless masters of Japanese cinema – Kinji Fukasaku (Battles without Honor and Humanity, Battle Royale) and Takashi Miike (Dead or Alive, Audition) – present their own distinctive adaptations of yakuza expert Goro Fujita’s gangster novel Graveyard of Honor, each tapping into the zeitgeist of a distinct period of Japanese history.
Set during the turbulent post-war years, Fukasaku’s originaI 1975 film charts the rise and falI of reaI-life gangster Rikio lshikawa (Tetsuya Watari, OutIaw Gangster VIP). Shot through with the same stark reaIism and quasi-documentarian approach as Fukasaku’s earlier BattIes Without Honor and Humanity, Fukasaku nonetheIess breaks new ground through his portrayal of a gangster utterly without honor or ethics, surviving by any means necessary in a world of brutaI criminality.
Meanwhile, Miike’s 2002 reteIling transpIants the story to Tokyo at the turn of the miIIennium. Less a direct remake of Fukasaku’s fiIm than a radicaI reimagining of the same overarching premise, Miike’s film captures both the hedonism and nihilism of the modern Japanese crime scene in deliriously stylish fashion, resulting in a fascinating companion piece to the originaI that nonetheless stands as its own entity.
Arrow Video is proud to present these two intertwined but unique crime thriIIers from two celebrated filmmakers at the peak of their creative powers. |
