Dual Format Releases on Blu-ray & DVD

This collection gathers our dual format releases - editions that include both a Blu-ray and a DVD (or, in a few cases, 4K UHD and Blu-ray) in a single package. It spans King Hu's wuxia classic Dragon Inn, Yasujiro Ozu's celebrated family dramas, and modern offbeat comedies like Top Knot Detective and Melancholic.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "dual format" mean?

Dual format releases include two physical discs in one package - typically a Blu-ray and a DVD, or occasionally 4K UHD and Blu-ray - so you get both formats without buying separately.

Why would I want both formats?

It's useful if you want the best possible picture quality on Blu-ray at home, but also want a DVD copy for a player that doesn't support Blu-ray, or simply for backup.

What genres does this collection cover?

A genuinely eclectic mix - wuxia, classic Japanese family drama, mockumentary comedy and yakuza thriller all feature, united by packaging format rather than genre.

Are these region-free with English subtitles?

Yes, these are region-free releases from specialist Asian cinema labels, with English subtitles included.
