Win TAKASHI MIIKE`S BLACK SOCIETY TRILOGY on Blu-ray from Arrow Video US!

Source: Arrow Video US, MVD Entertainment Group Special Thanks to Clint Weiler Arrow Video US is offering SciFi Japan readers a chance to win their new Blu-ray set of TAKASHI MIIKES BLACK SOCIETY TRILOGY. After several years spent working almost exclusively in the direct-to-video world of "V-cinema" in Japan, Takashi Miike announced himself as a world-class filmmaking talent with this trio of thematically-connected, character-centric crime stories about violence, the underworld of Japanese society, families both real and surrogate, and the possibly hopeless task of finding ones place in the world. His first films made specifically for theatrical release, and his first for a major studio, the "Black Society Trilogy" was the beginning of Miikes mature career as a filmmaker and they remain among the prolific directors finest works. Arrow Video US Blu-ray includes SHINJUKU TRIAD SOCIETY (新宿黒社会 チャイナ・マフィア戦争, Shinjuku Kuroshakai Chaina Mafia Sensoo, 1995), RAINY DOG (極道黒社会 RAINY DOG, Gokudoo Kuroshakai RAINY DOG, 1997) and LEY LINES (日本黒社会 LEY LINES, Nihon Kuroshakai LEY LINES, 1999), in beautiful high definition transfers. The set also contains a host of special features including a brand new interview with the director himself.
