Film Movement has detailed its upcoming Blu-ray release of Kazuya Shiraishi's Bushido (2025), starring Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, Kaya Kiyohara, Taishi Nakagawa, Kyoko Koizumi, and Takumi Saitoh. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on June 23.
Description: Taciturn Kakunoshin, renowned for his formidable skills both with a sword and in the game of go, embodies the purest ideals of the samurai code. But when his unwavering honesty is exploited, he is framed by his own clan for a theft he did not commit. Disgraced and forced to become a ronin, he survives as a humble seal maker, quietly supporting his grown daughter while burying the wounds of betrayal. Years later, when a case of missing gold pulls him into a new web of intrigue, Kakunoshin finally uncovers the truth behind his long-buried downfall. With the real culprit exposed, the restraint that once defined him shatters. The go board flips, and a hellstorm of righteous vengeance follows.
Acclaimed director Kazuya Shiraishi's first entry in the genre, "is not only a great return to form reminiscent of the golden age of samurai cinema" (Asian Movie Pulse), but an elegant, ferocious epic destined to be hailed as a new classic.
