Content: Die alte Frage Was ist der Mensch?" in einem Film des Japaners Shindo (geb. 1912; "Die nackte Insel", 1961), der eine blutige Legende aus den mittelalterlichen Kriegen seines Landes so abschreckend wie brillant ins Bild setzt. Inmitten einer riesigen Schilflandschaft hausen in einer Bambushütte zwei Frauen. Im Kampf ums nackte Dasein lauern sie desertierenden Kriegern auf, töten sie und verkaufen deren Habe gegen Hirse und Reis an einen Händler... Im Aufbau der Handlung an der klassischen Tragödie orientiert, rückt der Film Bilder von zarter Poesie neben solche von brutalem Realismus: Eine schockierende Anklage des Krieges und seiner demoralisierenden Zwänge. Leider bleibt die deutsche Synchronisation mangelhaft."(Lexikon des internationalen Films)

Content: Deep in the windswept marshes of war-torn medieval Japan, an impoverished older woman and her daughter-in-law murder lost samurai and sell their belongings for the most meager of sustenance. When a bedraggled neighbor returns from battle, lust, jealousy, and rage threaten to destroy the trio’s tenuous existence, before an ominous, ill-gotten demon mask seals their horrifying fate.

Series Statement: The Shōhei Imamura masterpiece collection : [Medienkombination] 2

Content: Imamura Shohei's chilling portrait was voted the best Japanese film of the decade by critics in both Los Angeles and New York. Based on a true story and a prize-winning novel, this is an icily precise account of a killer who abandons his devout Catholic family and his faith to go on a 78-day spree of murder and mayhem. The unnerving objectivity with which Imamura tells the story, combined with the film's formal beauty and precision and its refusal to explain or condemn, produces a devastating effect. "Inside of this man, could there be nothing but hollowness? I think I can see the forlorn inner soul of today's man." (Imamura) (Covertext)

Series Statement: The Criterion collection : [Medienkombination] 190

Content: One of the most celebrated screen adaptations of Shakespeare into film, Akira Kurosawa's Throne of Blood reimagines Macbeth in feudal Japan. Starring Kurosawa's longtime collaborator Toshiro Mifune and the legendary Isuzu Yamada as his ruthless wife, the film tells of a valiant warrior's savage rise to power and his ignominious fall. With Throne of Blood, Kurosawa fuses one of Shakespeare's greatest tragedies with the formal elements of Japanese Noh theater to make a Macbeth that is all his own̶a classic tale of ambition and duplicity set against a ghostly landscape of fog and inescapable doom. (Criterion)

Content: Extras: New, restored 2K digital film transfer, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray. Audio commentary featuring Japanese-film expert Michael Jeck. Documentary on the making of the film, created as part of the Toho Masterworks series Akira Kurosawa: It Is Wonderful to Create. Two alternate subtitle translations, by Japanese-film translator Linda Hoaglund and Kurosawa expert Donald Richie. Trailer. PLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by film historian Stephen Prince and notes on the subtitling by Hoaglund and Richie
