Only doctor Amamiya (real-life ex-yakuza Noboru Ando) can save them, but he had enough fighting in the war. His pacifism is severely tested by the gangs’ increasingly outrageous taunts and when his neighbours decide to take matters into their own hands, Amamiya is forced to take action. The consequences prove to be much more far-reaching than he could ever foresee. With a story spread across three time periods, Tai Kato’s ambitious revision of the yakuza movie was one of the first films to tackle the taboo subject of Japan’s Korean nationals, greatly influencing the work of later directors such as Kinji Fukasaku and Takashi Miike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLIMITED EDITION BLU-RAY SPECIAL FEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHigh-Definition digital transfer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUncompressed mono PCM audio\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppreciation by filmmaker Kenta Fukasaku (2023, 18 mins)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eTribute to Sanae Nakahara by her son Kenta Fukasaku (2023, 14 mins)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eTale of a Scarface\u003c\/em\u003e - A visual essay on Noboru Ando by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eNathan Stuart (2023. 22 mins)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewly translated English subtitles\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSleeve featuring original newly commissioned artwork by Time Tomorrow\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSee also our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.radiancefilms.co.uk\/products\/tai-kato-by-tom-mes\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ebook on Tai Kato by Tom Mes\u003c\/a\u003e, the first extended writing dedicated to this genre master, this new book provides a guide to a sensationally overlooked filmmaker to accompany a series of Tai Kato releases from Radiance Films.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYear: 1966\u003cbr\u003eCert: 15\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: Blu-ray\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRegion: B\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRAD040BD\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEAN: 5060974680757\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease date: 24\/03\/25\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePress \u0026amp; Awards:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOfficial selection - Locarno International Film Festival (1997), Viennale (2003)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"\u003cspan\u003ea remarkable example of just how well-crafted Japanese studio films were in the 1960s.
