If you aren't already a fan of this film than you will be. I must say first and foremost that this is a "love" story and anyone looking for an over-the-top action film may shy away from this film, but if you enjoy great films than I suggest you give it a try anyways. If you know anything about Japanese cinema than I'll tell you that some of Japan's biggest actors/actresses are in this film and Odagiri Joe stars in the main role (which should already spark any Japanese cinema buff's interest). I've been waiting for this film to hit blu ray and it is amazing. If you enjoy these kind of films I also suggest the following : Casshern, Goemon, Last Blood (Blood:The Last Vampire in U.S.A.), Kill
This film has some of the best cinematography the I have ever seen and the Blu-Ray 1080 full high definition just brings out the true experience. It also supports a wide range of audio, digital surround setups as well. This movie is just awesome.
