A Tale of Sorrow and Sadness Blu-ray

'A Tale of Sorrow and Sadness' Director: Seijun Suzuki (1977) Radiance Limited Edition Blu-ray | HD transfer | Region A+B | Japanese w/ English subtitles

The editor of a sports magazine grooms a fashion model to become a pro golfer, while retaining exclusive rights to her likeness. Her popularity soars after she wins her first tournament and she becomes a media sensation, but when she and her manager cause a hit-and-run accident, the victim begins to blackmail her, intruding further and further into her personal life. 

This was Seijun Suzuki’s comeback film after being blacklisted by the film industry for ten years. Though adapted from a popular manga, the bold visuals and absurdist plot twists are vintage Suzuki.
