British distributors Third Window Films will release on Blu-ray Toshiaki Toyoda's Transcending Dimensions (2025). The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on May 25.
Description: This limited edition release of Toshiaki Toyoda's Transcending Dimensions contains the world's first bluray release of his 2009 film The Blood of Rebirth as a bonus disc.
TRANSCENDING DIMENSIONS
A hitman pursues a mysterious Japanese ascetic, encountering an entanglement of mystical power and space-time along the way. Blending science fiction with other genre elements, Toshiaki Toyoda brings new vitality to his "Mt. Resurrection Wolf" short film series which have culminated over the years to lead to this feature film.
THE BLOOD OF REBIRTH
Based on the Japanese legend of 15th century adventurer, Oguri Hangan Daisukeshige, Toyoda places us in a surreal world of tattooed Japanese slave workers whose real life roles serve more as symbols than actual characters. After being hired by a local despot, Daizen, to massage away a nasty venereal disease, Oguri is vilely betrayed after refusing to stay longer.
