"This release of two motion pictures from Hideo Gosha takes a deep dive into a grimm world of prostitution and yakuza in Tokyo; both Tokyo Bordello and Onimasa benefit from a meticulous restoration and great commentaries by japanese cinema experts as extras make this edition a must for all asian films aficionados."
"The selection showcases Gosha's late-career mastery of yakuza and period crime films, balancing brutal violence with tragic characters and striking visual style. Excellent restorations, thoughtful extras, and beautiful presentation make this an essential release for fans of Japanese genre cinema. ""
"Recently discovered Hideo Gosha through these FMC releases. Can't believe I hadn't found his work before. Great films and excited to check out more of his work. Love the artwork on these."
"Lives up to the slipcover artwork. Pulls you totally into another world, evocatively staged, powerfully acted and two great films in one purchase. This should be a big seller."
"For fans of “Three Outlaw Samurai,” “Violent Streets,” and the Samurai Wolf films. Another stellar set from Film Movement and Vinegar Syndrome with a nice booklet."
"This pack has two films with amazing leading ladies. This is definitely a departure from Gosha's usual fare, but it's enjoyable nonetheless. The transfers look great and the acting here is excellent. The special features help to build a deep appreciation for the films!"
"So glad that many of this directors films are finally being given the blu ray treatment across various labels!"
"Hideo Gosha's films always manage to have a lasting effect on myself and these are no exceptions. More hard edged than you can imagine and can't wait to get my hands on more."
"Great muscular filmmaking from Gosha's mature period. Be prepared for high melodrama and emotions. Highly recommended!"
"Lesser-known titles on underbelly / prostitution, nice additions to the label"
