Vengeance is Mine DVD

'Vengeance is Mine' Director: Shōhei Imamura (1979) Eureka Masters of Cinema DVD | Japanese w/ English subtitles

Based on the true story of Akira Nishiguchi and his murderous rampage which sparked a 78-day nationwide manhunt, this disturbing gem won every major award in Japan on the year of its release. Both seducing and repelling with its unusual story and grisly humour, Imamura uncovers a seedy underbelly of civilised Japanese society.

Special features include:
- Audio commentary by Tony Rayns
- Video introduction by Alex Cox
- 36-page booklet with writing by Jasper Sharp and Alastair Phillips; Reprint of the original Japanese film programme, rare Shōchiku production stills, and a piece about the film by Imamura
