Product Description

One of the most distinctive and celebrated names in modern Japanese cinema, there s no other filmmaker quite like Shinya Tsukamoto. Since his early days as a teenager making Super 8 shorts, he has remained steadfastly independent, garnering widespread acclaim while honing his own unique and instantly recognizable aesthetic on the margins of the industry. Frequently exploring themes of urban alienation, physical transformation and psychosexual obsession, his films cross genre boundaries, defying straightforward classification. This exclusive collection gathers together eight feature-length films and two shorts from Tsukamoto s diverse filmography, including his most recent offering his samurai drama Killing, making its home video premiere.

Tetsuo: The Iron Man, Tetsuo II: Body Hammer, Tokyo Fist, Bullet Ballet, A Snake of June, Vital, Kotoko, Killing, The Adventure of Denchu-Kozo, Haze

Solid sturdy packaging
So I hope this helps people want to buy this. When I was reading the reviews I didn’t see any that said what I was looking for. Even looked up specifically the standard edition on YouTube and couldn’t find anything. Yes this standard edition boxset of this is the thick cardboard box that arrow usually does for their limited releases. It’s not flimsy paper like I’ve seen for some other ones. It’s nice solid quality that is good and sturdy. The reason it is standard is because it does not have the poster or booklet which of course would be amazing to have but unfortunately I missed out when the limited release dropped. Just happy to have the beautiful boxset with amazing artwork and films!!!
