Arrow Video US is offering SciFi Japan readers a chance to win their new Blu-ray of director Tomu Uchida`s BLOODY SPEAR AT MOUNT FUJI (????, Chiyari Fuji, 1955). Praised by Japanese film critics and much admired by his contemporaries Akira Kurosawa and Yasujirô Ozu, Uchida nonetheless remains little-known in the west. BLOODY SPEAR AT MOUNT FUJI is his masterpiece. and an excellent entry point for the newcomer. Set during the Edo period, the film is a tragicomic road movie of sorts, following a samurai, his two servants -- including spear-carrier Genpachi (Chiezô Kataoka) -- and the various people they meet on their journey, including a policeman in pursuit of a thief, a young child and a woman who is to be sold into prostitution. Winner of a prestigious Blue Ribbon Award for supporting actor -- and Kurosawa regular -- Daisuke Katô, BLOODY SPEAR AT MOUNT FUJI is a film deserving of much wider international recognition. Arrow Video US` release features a HD digital transfer, the original uncompressed mono audio, optional newly translated English subtitles, a brand-new audio commentary by Japanese cinema expert Jasper Sharp, and a reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Corey Brickley, with the first pressing including a =n illustrated collector’s booklet featuring new writing on the film by critic and filmmaker James Oliver. The suggested retail price is $39.95.
