IVL Release Toei Films In HK On DVD. Icludes Imamuras' "Black Rain".
So, Jason Gray has let it be known some more of the Toei Studio films licensed for release in HK. I knew the moment i spotted Imamuras name amongst the directors there was a good chance it would include "Black Rain", an early project that Takashi Miike worked on, and i was right.
So, this elusive film finally gets a widely available DVD release - and it's made my day.
The other films coming early on are : KATAKU NO HITO by Kinji Fukasaku (aka "House on Fire" 1986), HANA NO RAN by Kinji Fukasaku (aka "Chaos of Flowers" 1988), JINGI NAKI TATAKAI by Kinji Fukasaku (aka "Graveyard of Honour" 1975), SOREKARA by Yoshimitsu Morita (aka "...And Then" 1987), NARAYAMA BUSHIKO by Shohei Imamura (aka "Ballad of Narayama" 1983), KUROI AME by Shohei Imamaura (aka "Black Rain" 1989), TENGOKU NO EKI by Masanobu Deme (aka "Heaven Station" 1984), 17 SAI by Shinichiro Sawai (couldn't find it on IMDB), and GUUZEN NIMO SAIAKU NA SHOUNEN by Gu Suyon (also, couldn't find it on IMDB).

We now know 9 of the 12 films licensed under the initial agreement between IVL and Toei. Hopefully, the other 3 will be just as strong. Now the real question will be whether IVL will invest the money to put out a good product.

Guuzen nimo Saiaku na Shounen is the one I'm interested in because it stars cutie-pie singer Mika Nakashima. Here's the official site: http://www.toei.co.jp/saiaku/
