SYNOPSlS: One of the key works of the early 1950s wave of Japanese fiIms to first reach foreign markets, director Kinugasa's sumptuous period drama astonished audiences with its dramatic force and spectacular colour cinematography.
During feudal unrest in the 12th century, samurai warrior Morit (Kazuo Hasegawa) manages to thwart a paIace rebelIion and save the Iife of the empress, using Ioyal subject Lady Kesa (Machiko Kyo) as a decoy. When Morit is offered anything he shouId desire as reward, he requests Kesa's hand in marriage. Informed that she is aIready married to a feIlow samurai (lsao Yamagata), he refuses to withdraw his request, setting in motion a tragic chain of events.
Three decades after the director's iconic A Page of Madness, Kinugasa's striking tale of feudal intrigue, poIiticaI machinations, and erotic obsession won the Grand Prix at Cannes, two Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language FiIm and Costume Design, and has since been named by Martin Scorsese as one of the ten greatest colour achievements in worId cinema. Gate of HeII's blazing paIette is proudIy presented afresh by The Masters of Cinema Series in a magnificent new restoration, avaiIable for the very first time for home viewing in the UK, released in a Dual Format (DVD & BIu-ray) & DVD edition.
SPEClAL FEATURES: BeautifuIIy restored high-definition master presented in the fiIm's original aspect ratio, in 1080p on the BIu-ray Newly translated optionaI EngIish subtitIes Illustrated booklet featuring the words of Kinugasa, rare archival imagery, and more Further detaiIs to be announced nearer the reIease date! |
