Australian label Imprint Films has informed us that it will add three new Asian titles to its catalog. They are: A Better Tomorrow Trilogy (1986-1989), Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles (2005), and The Way Home (2002).
A Better Tomorrow Trilogy 4K Blu-ray
Hong Kong action was never the same after John Woo's A Better Tomorrow hit the big screen in 1986! Kicking off one of the greatest action trilogies of all time, the sequel A Better Tomorrow II quickly followed in 1987, and the prequel A Better Tomorrow III: Love & Death in Saigon in 1989.
Jam-packed with explosive, truly over-the-top sequences of balletic violence and courageous bloodshed, these films are iconic entries in the pantheon of Hong Kong action and defining works in John Woo's remarkable filmography.
All three films have been restored from their original camera negatives in 4K UHD with Dolby Vision, accompanied by hours of brand NEW Special Features, including a long-lost workprint of A Better Tomorrow II, featuring over thirty minutes of never-before-seen footage, and the Taiwanese cut of A Better Tomorrow III.
This special collection features an exclusive SteelBook with all three 4K Blu-ray discs, four Blu-ray discs featuring special features and the alternate cuts in a separate case, plus an 80-page Hardback Booklet with production stills and brand NEW essays, all housed in a Lid Hardbox.
"An action scene should tell a human story. If it doesn't, the scene won't work." — John Woo STREET DATE: MARCH 25.
Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles
Legendary director Zhang Yimou returns to Imprint Asia with this moving drama, which makes worldwide Blu-ray debut.
Japanese fisherman Takata has been estranged from his son for many years, but when the son is diagnosed with terminal cancer, his daughter-in-law, Rie, summons him to the hospital. Through a series of obstacles and relationships, he is unexpectedly brought closer to both an understanding of himself and his son.
A co-production between China and Japan with director Yasuo Furuhata handling the Japanese sections, this intimate picture was acclaimed by critics on release, and is a must-see for fans of Zhang Yimou's filmography.
STREET DATE: MARCH 25.
The Way Home
This South Korean drama, written and directed by Lee Jeong-hyang and starring Kim Eul-boon and Yoo Seung-ho, was the winner of Best Film at the Grand Bell Awards.
This is the story of a 7-year-old boy, Sang-woo, born and raised in the big city, and his mute grandmother, who has spent her whole life in a small rural village.
At the age of 78, star Kim Eul-boon had not only never acted before, but had also never seen a film. Discovered by director Lee Jeong-hyang in a country village, she received critical acclaim and was nominated for Best New Actress at the Grand Bell Awards.
