Description: Further DetailsTitle: Gate of Hell - The Masters of Cinema SeriesCondition: NewDescription: One of the key works of the early 1950s wave of Japanese films 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 palace rebellion and save the life of the empress, using loyal subject Lady Kesa (Machiko Kyo) as a decoy. When Morit is offered anything he should desire as reward, he requests Kesa's hand in marriage. Informed that she is already married to a fellow samurai (Isao 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, political machinations, and erotic obsession won the Grand Prix at Cannes, two Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film and Costume Design, and has since been named by Martin Scorsese as one of the ten greatest colour achievements in world cinema.No Of Discs: 1Run Time: 91 minutesStudio: EurekaRegion Code: Region BGenre: Foreign Languages & EFLRating: PGCountry/Region of Manufacture: JapanActor: Jun Tazaki, Kenjiro Uemura, Kôtarô Bandô, Yataro Kurokawa, Koreya Senda, Masao Shimizu, Machiko Kyô, Tatsuya Ishiguro, Isao Yamagata, Kazuo Hasegawa, Machiko KyoMPN: EKA70087Subtitle Language: EnglishEAN: 5060000700879Release Date: 12/03/2012Director: Teinosuke KinugasaLanguage: JapaneseFormat: Blu-rayRelease Year: 2012 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
