Samurai Wolf 1+2 Limited Edition Blu-Ray

A duo of chanbara masterpieces from one of the genre's greatest directors, Hideo Gosha! Wanting to make what he felt was a truly uncompromising swordfighting film, Gosha took inspiration from Akira Kurosawa's samurai films and the spaghetti western subgenre they had inspired. He worked with a low budget to avoid the restrictive supervision of producers, and the result was Samurai Wolf and Samurai Wolf II, which tell the story of the charismatic ronin Kiba (played by Isao Natsuyagi).In the first film, Kiba wanders into a small town and becomes involved in a local conflict that is more than meets the eye. In Samurai Wolf II, Kiba becomes entangled in a complex web of intrigue involving a corrupt gold mine owner, a cynical swordsman, and an arrogant dojo master.

With stunning black-and-white cinematography and ultra-stylish action sequences, the Samurai Wolf films are a lean, mean triumph for samurai cinema. The Masters of Cinema series is proud to present both films for the first time ever in the UK on Blu-ray. SPECIAL BLU-RAY EDITION WITH TV DISCS*:
