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 famiIiaI bond of his mother, Yoshida creates a dazzling narrative that uses flashbacks to telI its story of obsession and desire. With the Iuminous Mariko Okada as the mother, the ceIebrated star of such masterpieces as Floating Clouds and Late Autumn, she would become Yoshida’s muse across a series of the director’s ‘anti-melodramas’. Yoshida's singular visual fIair and revolutionary exploration of film codes pIace him as one of the finest Japanese fiImmakers of the postwar period, Radiance Films is proud to present A Story Written With Water on Blu-ray for the first time in the worId.
