Les Blu-ray Eureka / Masters of Cinema

[The Eye Of Doom]

Gasp !!!

Bon chacun son truc et je ne nie pas que c’est une bourde, mais franchement j’ai dû regarder plusieurs fois avant de voir ce qu’il manquait… Pour moi quand le gars dit que ça l’a littéralement sorti du film c’est limite « drama queen ».

C’est parce qu’il connait bien le film off course. Sinon on se demande juste pourquoi d’un coup il regarde par terre et on passe a autre chose

[Mosin-Nagant]

quand le gars dit que ça l’a littéralement sorti du film c’est limite « drama queen ».

Je me suis dit exactement la même chose.

Paths of Glory, ça va être un achat obligatoire. Marre d'attendre un Blu-ray chez nous.

Existe en bluray en Allemagne depuis plusieurs années avec VF et STF.

Et heureusement qu'on a ignoré ton édition allemande jusque-là puisque c'est un 4K UHD qui s'apprête à sortir. Je sais pas si tu connais mais il paraît que c'est le format ultime...

[ewo]

Bien évidemment la news pour le Kubrick tombe juste deux jours après avoir reçu le KL pour lequel j'ai mis énormément de temps à me décider.

Ca serait bien si il sortait quelques muets de plus…. (Si possible pas trop trafiqués) Ou alors des classiques japonais parce que là, c’est pas ma tasse de thé..:

[Mosin-Nagant]

Oui, on voit bien qu'ils exploitent le filon...

De toute façon, ils l'avaient dit sur blu-ray.com : sans les ventes générées par ces titres, l'éditeur aurait mis la clé sous la porte.

Après les Shinobi no Mono, encore une édition britannique qui ne comprend que les 3 premiers films (pour Le Prisonnier d'Abashiri)...
Alors qu'en l'occurrence, les 10 premiers réalisés par Teruo Ishii étaient sortis en 2015 en 2 coffrets BR au Japon :
- Abashiri Prison Box 1 Blu-ray
- Abashiri Prison Box II Blu-ray

Sinon, voici les mini-critiques de cet internaute finlandais expatrié au Japon :

Abashiri Prison (網走番外地) (Japan, 1965) [DVD] – 3.5/5
The first film in what is probably the most beloved yakuza film series of all time. Ken Takakura stars as tough guy sent to the Abashiri Prison, which is populated by Toei’s regular yakuza films stars (Toru Abe, Kajuro Arashi, Kunie Tanaka etc.). The opening half isn't that special, but after that the film takes off when it transforms into an exhilarating chase set in the beautiful and cold Hokkaido locations. Solid cinematography and well used ninkyo elements (although it's not really a ninkyo series) also contribute to the success. The series ran a total of 18 instalments, the first 10 of them helmed by Teruo Ishii.

Another Abashiri Prison Story (続網走番外地 ) (Japan, 1965) [DVD] - 1.5/5
An uninspired routine sequel only made to cash in on the success of the original. The first film was an entertaining action flick set in the snowy Hokkaido winter; this sequel misses the cool for being filmed during summer. There are no prison scenes either; the shabby storyline follows Takakura and others ex-cons as free men. They soon get involved a with diamond theft. The series theme song by Takakura is the film's only highlight.

Abashiri Prison: Saga of Homesickness (網走番外地　望郷篇) (Japan, 1965) [DVD] - 3.5/5
The 3rd film in the series, and one of the best. Like the previous instalment it was shot during a summer and also lacks any prison scenes. However, the screenplay and characters are pretty good this time round and the film features a very atmospheric use of music. Thr film starts with Takakura out of the slammer and trying honest living as a port labourer with other former prisoners gone straight, but of course things are complicated by Toru Abe's villainous rival gang, who want the business all for themselves. There's also a black(face) kid who makes friends with Takakura, but is surprisingly not irritating at all. Although Abashiri Prison was not really a ninkyo yakuza series, this instalments features quite a few typical ninkyo elements, including an honourable, death-sick assassin hired by Abe's gang to fight Takakura.

Un coffret des 10 bd Abashiri Prison c'est même pas la peine d'y penser... chez Criterion et encore.

sur 18 films.
