Terracotta always delivers some of the best Editions there are on this Planet, with great remastered pictures and sound, full of Extras. There´s never ever anything to complain about. As is with this J-Horror Box.
Thank you very much!!
Fast delivery. Really pleased
I am biased towards samurai films, and I love a good mockumentary. So I'm definitely biased. What I can say is that if you know enough about Japanese cinema, in terms of samurai film conventions, and the controversial actors and directors that have made them in the past, then you will most likely laugh the whole way through this film. I even find the contrasting final act really funny, due to its tonal whiplash. On top of these points, the film has many a crude joke, hilarious lo-fi special effects, and perfect comedic performances. One of the best Japanese comedy films that I've seen - which is actually an Australian film in disguise (!).
I don't know what I can add to what's already been written and said about these films, by fans and critics. They are stunning, even decades after they're release. I first saw them very quickly in succession, as Tartan Asia DVDs. I've loved both ever since, despite hearing many people say they prefer one over the other. And due to their length, they are a fantastic double bill of scrungy, gruesome, and philosophical Japanese body horror - from a master filmmaker who has remained a true independent ever since.
... says this is their favourite Tsukamoto film. Mine is Kotoko, because I think it is so brave, beguiling and fascinating. I can easily see why this is such a popular Tsukamoto film, and I agree it is one of his best. At first the visuals and the premise may make you think this is comparable to Tetsuo, but this is a very different film. It is erotic, but not sexually explicit. There is bizarre imagery and special effects, but everything works thematically together - including the performances, the props, the music, and of course the cinematography. If you don't like the colour blue, then that might be the only reason you could possibly not like this film. Fans of Tsukamoto's other work may most likely appreciate and "vibe" with this film. But if you like the sound of a sexually staid marriage being explored and disrupted - at first by a voyeur, and then many other twists - definitely give this film a go, and then a re-watch, as it definitely deserves multiple viewings.
This film has stayed with me over the years after Third Window first released it. I really liked it after my first watch. The images have never left my brain since, so now I think it is one of Tsukamoto's best. His vision of Meiji era Japan via inspiration from Edogawa Rampo is both darkly delicious and visually rich and detailed. The performances are great, alongside the production design and music. I cannot recommend it more highly.

In my opinion this sits comfortably with the best boxing films, such as Raging Bull and Journeyman. The difference here is that Tsukamoto turns the training and competing of boxing into a body horror - and he does this so successfully that Tokyo Fist can easily be double billed with Tetsuo The Iron Man, or the psychological explorations offered by Gemini or Vital. A great film, and not just within the genre of boxing films.
I love this film. I have so much respect for director Eiji Uchida and producer Adam Torel, for their uncompromising vision that they put on-screen. Directors who can only work in porn to try and make an income; regularly working directors are eaten up by corporate entities; and any emerging female talent is quickly exploited, both financially and sexually. It is a grim story, but it is also told with humour and heart. One of the most unique and incomparable cinematic stories I have seen. Watch it as soon as you can.
Have ordered a couple of times, always great products as described with excellent communication throughout. Will continue ordering. Thank you!!

Do not go in unprepared. This is not an easy watch - for anyone who has dealt with mental health problems; relatives or friends that have suffered with such issues; or if you are a parent. This is an emotional rollercoaster of a film, that is also Tsukamoto's most difficult and successful film in exploring a character's psyche. Not everything is spelled out, and many significant parts are open to interpretation - whether they are bloody or emotionally intense. This is likely Cocco's most personal film that she will ever do, as it is partly based on her own struggles. Again, not an easy watch, and not for everyone - but it is an incredible achievement.
Packing wise as usual setting the benchmark for all others. And more stellar releases from TWF.
The Beijing Bodyguard, is an early Jet Li movie, action packed and well acted packed, with a good storyline! This has always been a favourite Jet Li movie of mine!
Jet Li is on lone from the People's Republic of China to protect a murder witness, he's totally professional, which leads to minor dynamics, with the woman he's protecting and also the Hong Kong detectives who are also protecting the witness!
The picture and sound are great, if your a Jet Li fan, this is worth adding to your collection!
One of my new favourite films. A MASTERPIECE
