{"product_id":"seijun-suzukis-the-taisho-trilogy-used","title":"Seijun Suzuki's The Taisho Trilogy USED","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter over a decade in the wilderness following his firing from Nikkatsu for Branded to Kill (1967), maverick director Seijun Suzuki returned with a vengeance with his critically-praised tryptic of cryptic supernatural dramas set during the liberal enlightenment of Japan's Taisho Era (1912-26). In the multiple Japanese Academy Award-winning Zigeunerweisen (1980), two intellectuals and former colleagues from military academy involve their wives in a series of dangerous sexual games. In Kageroza (1981), a playwright is drawn like a moth to a flame to a mysterious beauty who might be a ghost, while Yumeji (1991) imagines the real-life painter-poet Takehisa Yumeji's encounter with a beautiful widow with a dark past. Rarely seen outside of Japan, the films in the Taisho Trilogy are considered Suzuki's masterpieces in his homeland. Presenting a dramatic turn from more his familiar tales of cops, gangsters and unruly youth, these surrealistic psychological puzzles drip with a lush exoticism, distinctively capturing the pandemonium of a bygone age of decadence and excess, when Western ideas, fashions, technologies and art fused into everyday aspect of Japanese life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBonus Materials\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh Definition Blu-ray (1080p) transfers of all three films\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal uncompressed stereo audio\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptional English subtitles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew introductions to each film by critic Tony Rayns\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaking-of featurette\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage interview with Seijun Suzuki\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTony Rayns on the Taisho Trilogy, a new appreciation of Suzuki’s trilogy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrailers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReversible sleeve featuring two artwork choices\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orbit DVD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40919515037740,"sku":"760137334880u","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0359\/2201\/8348\/files\/seijun-suzukis-the-taisho-trilogy-used-used-blu-ray.jpg?v=1786999386","url":"https:\/\/www.orbitdvd.com\/products\/seijun-suzukis-the-taisho-trilogy-used","provider":"Orbit DVD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
