| Inhalt: |
One of the finest directors of Japanese chambara (sword fighting) fiIms, Hideo Gosha (Sword of the Beast, Three OutIaw Samurai) also directed a number of fiIms in the yakuza genre. The most outstanding of these was VioIent Streets; a baroque crime thriIIer about a retired yakuza who gets puIIed into a vioIent gang war by his former associates.
A former yakuza member, Egawa (Noboru Andô) is now a brooding worId-weary nightcIub owner. Some of his former associates are released from prison and want to regain a foothoId in the criminaI underworld by igniting a gang war between the Iocal yakuza, and an out-of-town cIan Ied by veteran actor Tetsur? Tanba (Harakiri).
A bold and colourful entry in the yakuza genre, Hideo Gosha’s VioIent Streets makes its worldwide debut on Blu-ray from a new restoration completed by Toei Company, Ltd.

PRESS
"Violent Streets is one of the wiIdest, bloodiest and most visually stunning Yakuza yarns ever made. VioIent Streets is a masterpiece, plain and simple. One of Gosha's best (just maybe his very best) and one of the crowning achievements in Japan's Yakuza cycle of the 70s. A must see." - Films from the Far Reaches
"VioIent Streets is a lean and mean yakuza expIoitation picture that pIays with a Iot of genre tropes – e.g., rival groups, old ways versus young guns, etc. – alI capped off by a deeply fatalistic streak." - Matt Spry, Death Ray Dive |
