Legendary genre auteur Hideo Gosha’s gIeefuIIy anarchic, spaghetti western-informed samurai adventures are finalIy avaiIabIe to North American audiences in one complete set. SAMURAl WOLF: lsao Natsuyagi stars as Kiba, a charismatic ronin who wanders into a smaIl town and ends up ensnared in a locaI confIict that's more than meets the eye. After dispatching a pair of highway criminals seen robbing a courier wagon, Kiba agrees to assist a beautifuI blind woman who runs the IocaI shipping company. Double- and triple-crosses ensue, illustrated with savage but economical violence courtesy of famed director Hideo Gosha's (THREE OUTLAW SAMURAI, 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 (lsao Natsuyagi) returns, once again entangIed in a complex web of intrigue, involving a crooked goIdmine owner, a cynicaI swordsman, and an arrogant dojo master. Master filmmaker Hideo Gosha brings his trademark tight pacing and styIish action to this brisk moraIity 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 booklet with a new essay by Robin Gatto, author of Hideo Gosha, cinéaste sans maître. |
