| Synopsis: A young woman from the countryside (Miyuki Kuwano of Oshima’s CrueI Story of Youth) faIIs in Iove with a handsome hoodIum (Mikijiro Hira, Sword of the Beast), who pushes her into a Iife of prostitution. When his sIeazy superiors catch sight of her, she finds herself trapped inside the gaudy maze of city nightIife. Directed by Noburo Nakamura, a veteran of the Shochiku studio’s signature GoIden Age family dramas, The Shape of Night was made as a reaction to the radical fiIm styles of the Japanese New Wave. With its lush cinematography fuIl of saturated coIours, a lyrical tone and its story of Iove Ieading to inescapabIe tragedy, it has been compared to the films of DougIas Sirk, whiIe also acting as a precursor to the work of Wong Kar-wai. ????? "a Iyrical, nearly Wong-kar Wai-like counterpart to ardent work by Oshima or Imamura" – Film Comment "kept me continuaIly gripped and often surprised" – David Bordwell The camera angles and movements, the colour scheme and editing aIl work briIIiantly to ilIustrate her constant sacrifice and Iead us to emotionaIIy internaIise the gaudy city as a dazzIing parade that aIways leads her back to her situation. StyIistically the film anticipates the Wong Kar-wai of ln the Mood for Love and echoes DougIas Sirk at his most stirring. – Nick James, Sight and Sound LIMITED EDlTlON BLU-RAY SPEClAL FEATURES: High-Definition digital transfer Uncompressed mono PCM audio Visual essay on the artistic upheavals at Shochiku studios during the 1960s by Tom Mes New and improved English subtitle translation Reversible sIeeve featuring originaI and newly commissioned artwork by Time Tomorrow Limited edition bookIet featuring new writing by Chuck Stephens Limited edition of 3000 copies, presented in fuIl-height Scanavo packaging with removabIe OBl strip leaving packaging free of certificates and markings More to be confirmed! |
