Zavvi - The Home of Pop CultureTwo peerless masters of Japanese cinema – Kinji Fukasaku (Battles without Honor and Humanity, Battle Royale) and Takashi Miike (Dead or Alive, Audition) – present their own distinctive adaptations of yakuza expert Goro Fujita’s gangster novel Graveyard of Honor, each tapping into the zeitgeist of a distinct period of Japanese history.Set during the turbulent post-war years, Fukasaku’s original 1975 film charts the rise and fall of real-life gangster Rikio Ishikawa (Tetsuya Watari, Outlaw Gangster VIP). Shot through with the same stark realism and quasidocumentarian approach as Fukasaku’s earlier Battles Without Honor and Humanity, Fukasaku nonetheless breaks new ground through his portrayal of a gangster utterly without honor or ethics, surviving by any means necessary in a world of brutal criminality.Meanwhile, Miike’s 2002 retelling transplants the story to Tokyo at the turn of the millennium. Less a direct remake of Fukasaku’s film than a radical reimagining of the same overarching premise, Miike’s film captures both the hedonism and nihilism of the modern Japanese crime scene in deliriously stylish fashion, resulting in a fascinating companion piece to the original that nonetheless stands as its own entity.Arrow Video is proud to present these two intertwined but unique crime thrillers from two celebrated filmmakers at the peak of their creative powers.Special Features:Two-disc set featuring two different versions of Graveyard of Honor, the 1975 film by Kinji Fukasaku and the 2002 film by Takashi MiikeSpecial edition packaging featuring newly commissioned artwork by Ian MacEwanReversible sleeves featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Ian MacEwanDISC ONE – GRAVEYARD OF HONOR (1975)High Definition Blu-ray™ (1080p) presentationOriginal lossless Japanese PCM 1.0 mono soundtrackOptional English subtitlesAudio commentary by author and critic Mark SchillingLike a Balloon: The Life of a Yakuza, a visual essay by critic and Projection Booth podcast host Mike WhiteA Portrait of Rage, an archival appreciation of Fukasaku and his films, featuring interviews with filmmakers, scholars, and friends of the directorOn the Set with Fukasaku, an archival interview with assistant director Kenichi OguriTheatrical trailerImagery galleryDISC TWO – GRAVEYARD OF HONOR (2002)High Definition Blu-ray™ (1080p) presentationOriginal lossless Japanese PCM 2.0 stereo soundtrackOptional English subtitlesAudio commentary by Miike biographer Tom MesMen of Violence: The Male Driving Forces in Takashi Miike’s Cinema, a visual essay by author and critic Kat EllingerArchival “interview special” featuring Miike and cast members Goro Kishitani and Narimi ArimoriArchival “making-of” featuretteArchival “making-of” teaserArchival press release interviews featuring Miike, Kishitani and ArimoriArchival “premiere special” featuring Miike, Kishitani and ArimoriTheatrical trailerImagery gallery
