Arrow Video Burst City
Description
Zavvi - The Home of Pop CultureBurst City is an explosive Molotov cocktail of dystopian sci-fi, Mad Max-style biker wars against yakuza gangsters and the police, and riotous performances from members of the real-life Japanese punk bands The Stalin, The Roosters, The Rockers and INU. In a derelict industrial wasteland somewhere on the outskirts of Tokyo, two rival punk bands and their unruly mobs of fans gather for a Battle of the Bands-style protest against the construction of a nuclear powerplant, bringing them head to head with the yakuza industrialists behind the development of their turf. This extraordinary celebration of Japan's punk music scene of the early 1980s thrust Sōgo Ishii (now known by the name of Gakuryū Ishii), the underground filmmaking wunderkind behind such works as Half Human: Einstürzende Neubauten (1986), Angel Dust (1994) and Electric Dragon 80,000V (2001), to the next level and is regularly cited as an early landmark in Japanese cyberpunk cinema.Special FeaturesHigh Definition Blu-rayTM (1080p) presentationOriginal lossless mono Japanese soundtrackOptional English subtitlesBrand new audio commentary by Japanese film expert Tom MesThe Punk Spirit of '82: Sōgo Ishii on Burst City, an exclusive new 56-minute interview with the directorBursting Out, an exclusive 27-minute interview with the academic and independent filmmaker Yoshiharu Tezuka on jishu eiga and the making of Burst CityOriginal TrailerImage GalleryReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Chris Malbon
