Film Movement has provided a promotional trailer for the recent 2K restoration of Hideo Gosha's film Cash Calls Hell (1966), starring Tatsuya Nakadai, Hisashi Igawa, Ichirô Nakatani, Kunie Tanaka, and Kaneko Iwasaki. A Blu-ray release of Cash Calls Hell is expected to be made available in early 2025.
UPDATE: The label has dated its release and provided special features information.
Cash Calls Hell is scheduled to arrive on the market on January 28.
Also included with this announcement is an official new poster.
Facing the final days of his prison sentence for vehicular manslaughter, Oida (Tatsuya Nakadai) dreads reentering society as a ruined man with no future prospects. Sensing his street smarts, Oida's cellmate promises him a pile of loot if he tracks down and kills three men whose names are on a list. Reluctantly accepting the task, he finds himself embroiled in a web of stolen money, betrayal and other sordid vices. Torn between compassion and desperation, Oida discovers danger lurking around every corner as he navigates a treacherous path of cold-blooded fate.
Legendary director Hideo Gosha (Samurai Wolf, Violent Streets, Onimasa) blends classic, gritty film noir tropes into a New Wave inflected cinematic fever dream of intrigue and paranoia in this "absolutely gripping and suspenseful movie, a masterpiece of genre filmmaking" (Japan on Film).
