Member Yihetuan Posted February 11, 2023 Member Share Posted February 11, 2023 Glad to see that this title is selling very well for Radiance. Bodes well for future Japanese releases including Yakuza Graveyard. If you're on the fence, grab the limited edition while it's still in print. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved it, but I hated the Spoiler sad fate of our hero ! I should say the Spoiler unjust hero's fate. He tried his best to keep the peace and save his friend, but... as I said, what a sad fate ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Yihetuan Posted February 21, 2023 Member Share Posted February 21, 2023 (edited) Yakuza Graveyard is now up for pre-order from the Radiance Films shop. Amazon & diabolikdvd. https://www.radiancefilms.co.uk/products/yakuza-graveyard-le https://www.amazon.com/Yakuza-Graveyard-Limited-Tetsuya-Watari/dp/B0BVGWBZ1Z/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?crid=1811REV4AOCF2&keywords=yakuza+graveyard+blu+ray&qid=1676944568&sprefix=yakuza+graveyard%2Caps%2C463&sr=8-1-fkmr1 https://www.diabolikdvd.com/product/yakuza-graveyard-us-radiance-films-le-blu-ray-all-region-preorder/ Those that ordered Big Time Gambling Boss directly from Radiance also received a special A4 sized "Dirty Arthouse" fanzine with Takashi Miike on the cover. Wonder if this one will come with any surprises? Also this blu ray also contains an "easter egg" - curious about that as well.

Member Darth Kermit Posted February 22, 2023 Member Share Posted February 22, 2023 That's gotta mean a Miike film from Radiance in the near future, right? I know Arrow does this sometimes, with little cards inside the cases signalling upcoming releases, sometimes which haven't been revealed yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered Big... from radiance almost right after they announced the movie, and I'm almost sure that I didn't receive this. I'll have to check my dvd to verify, but this doesn't rign a bell at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So unfortunately for you and the others who preordered your copy right when it was announced did not get a copy. In fairness, Radiance should've sent all the pre-orders a copy once they had them but guessing it was cost prohibitive to ship them again separately. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid @Yihetuan is correct, the booklet wasn't an inlay to the Blu-ray due to its size, so if you received it you'd definitely know. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Yihetuan Posted March 26, 2023 Member Share Posted March 26, 2023 Amazon has Yakuza Graveyard for $17.99 right now, the lowest price I've seen for a pre-order. I would jump on it! https://www.amazon.com/Yakuza-Graveyard-Blu-ray/dp/B0BVGWBZ1Z?tag=bluray-010-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&fbclid=IwAR1oSlmg6R4pjChEd9skCMdhmejJjkxpvnCqXnykeuqLpGY_rldsD9mq5IU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed my chance to see this restored version on the big screen, this will be a fine consolation, thank you Radiance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Yihetuan Posted May 5, 2023 Member Share Posted May 5, 2023 I thought L'Immagine Ritrovata was doing the whole shebang but apparently only the restoration as Louis Koo's One Cool is doing the color grading for A Moment of Romance. https://www.onecool.com/one-cool-production/ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Yihetuan Posted May 16, 2023 Member Share Posted May 16, 2023 (edited) On the Radiance release of Yakuza Graveyard there is mention of an "easter egg" so I finally got around to watching this and the "easter egg" is an extra "hidden" interview that runs about 4 mins long with director, Kazuya Shiraishi who discusses the influence of Kinji Fukusaku on his own work, Blood of Wolves. This is separate from the longer 15 min interview he does talking about the film & is not on the menu options.

Member legendarycurry Posted May 31, 2023 Member Share Posted May 31, 2023 This is gonna sound shallow as hell and very nitpicky, but yo, the A Moment of Romance package design from Radiance is not it. The choice to have the blurb on the front with weird spacing, font and punctuation, and the odd ethereal art film-evoking cover art is a turnoff, as it feels misrepresentative This is a triad action teen romance with cantopop montages, not Fallen Angels or whatever else film students think all HK cinema is. Even compared to something like As Tears Go By this is more accessible. No hate to the artist though, they were commissioned and this is what Radiance wanted I will still buy it because the disc I owned was of dubious legality (mainland bootleg vibes and the alt title "If Sky Have Love") and it wouldn't even play properly in some players before it was left at a friends house and I never saw it again. The choice to namedrop Miike and WKW is certainly a choice in the cover blurb... I hope the reversible sleeve is an indication something better is available, I'd even take the "JoJo held hostage" cover over that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the reversible will be a theatrical poster or something, with a little colored border, just like with Yakuza Graveyard and Big Time Gambling Boss.

Yeah that also got a raised eyebrow from me. I'm sure it'll be both the first and last time we see a Benny Chan movie getting compared to Miike Takashi. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
