Tokijiro Lone Yakuza Blu-ray Limited Radiance Kinnosuke Nakamura Tai Kato

That’s why they call it blood-spurt, kid! Introducing Radiance Film's Limited Edition Blu-ray for Tokijiro: Lone Yakuza, a 1966 Japanese thriller from director Tai Kato (I, the Executioner). Weary of the rigid codes of the underworld, gambler Tokijiro (Kinnosuke Nakamura, Goyokin) wanders Japan in search of freedom. But escape proves to be impossible when an obligation to a gang boss leaves him with no choice but to kill a man. To atone for his crime, he vows to take care of his victim’s widow and young son. But the gang won’t rest until they’ve killed the entire family – including the man who stands in their way. With this breathtakingly stylised film, Tai Kato broke all the conventions of the yakuza genre, fusing blood-spurting action with melodrama worthy of Japanese cinema’s greatest masters. Limited Edition Features:  Limited edition booklet featuring new writing by scholar Ivo Smits and a newly translated archival review Limited Edition of 3000 copies, presented in full-height S
