News on a couple of upcoming UK Blu-ray and DVD releases from the rather excellent Third Window Films, both being directed by Sion Sono. Himizu and Love Exposure will both hit Blu on August 6th, with Himizu also being released on DVD.
Himizu details
The new film from Sion Sono (Love Exposure, Cold Fish) Himizu tells the powerful story of two teenagers’ struggle to live in dystopian future Japan destroyed by a natural disaster. When young Yuichi is pushed too far he embarks on a violent campaign of revenge against society’s evil doers and it’s up to Keiko who is desperately in love with him to try to bring him back to the path of a decent man. A heart-rending drama and tender love story, Himizu features startling performances from its young leads who became the first Japanese actors ever to win the Marcello Matroianni Award at the 68th Venice Film Festival
Himizu comes out on DVD & Blu-ray on AUGUST 6th
Both releases feature:
