Eureka Entertainment is to release REVENGE [ADAUCHI], the tragic Japanese Samurai classic from the screenwriter of Harakiri. Presented as part of The Masters of Cinema Series in its worldwide debut on Blu-ray, from a new 2K restoration. Available from 19 June 2023, the first print run of 2,000 copies will feature a Limited-Edition O-card Slipcase.
A cruel jidaigeki masterwork from director Tadashi Imai (Cruel Tale of Bushido) and screenwriter Shinobu Hashimoto, the writer of Masaki Kobayashi’s great masterpiece Harakiri, Revenge is a lacerating attack on the absurdity and hypocrisy of feudal Japan.
An innocuous comment during a weapon inspection wounds the pride of low-ranking samurai Shinpachi, leading to an argument with his superior. The situation snowballs out of control, leading to a deadly duel and political fallout which threatens the entire clan.
