Great cinematography, compelling and cohesive stories, and great acting make this set a must-have. The artwork and packaging are exceptional as well! Definitely is a must-have for any collection."
"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."
"These two great films look fantastic in this release and are presented in a beautiful slipcover. This was a blind buy for me and was absolutely worth it."
"A special release from Film Movement Classics that brings together two of legendary Japanese director Hideo Gosha's most acclaimed and visually striking films: Onimasa (1982) and Tokyo Bordello (1987)"
"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."
"Hideo Gosha is rapidly becoming one of my favorite filmmakers."
"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!"
