A TALE OF SORROW AND SADNESS / HISHU MONOGATARI (1977) - Blu-ray Release of Japanese Drama Starring Yoko Shiraki

A Tale Of Sorrow And Sadness 1977 New On Bluray

Product Description: The editor of a sports magazine grooms fashion model Reiko (Yoko Shiraki) to become a pro golfer, while retaining exclusive rights to her likeness. Reiko's popularity soars after she wins her first tournament and she becomes a media sensation, but when she and her manager (Yoshio Harada, Zigeunerweisen) cause a hit-and-run accident, the victim begins to blackmail Reiko, intruding further and further into her personal life. This was Seijun Suzuki's comeback film after being blacklisted by the film industry for ten years. Though adapted from a popular manga, the bold visuals and absurdist plot twists are vintage Suzuki.
