The Sting Of Death Blu-Ray

After World War II, an author's love affair with another woman drives his wife mad with suspicion. When he realizes his mistakes, he does everything he can to save her from literally losing her mind. Kohei Oguri's gripping adaptation of Toshio Shimao's novel is shot in a hyper-realistic style that is both picturesque and unflinching. With its striking cinematography, powerful lead performances, and vivid portrayal of life in a small town in postwar Japan, The Sting of Death won the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, while stars Ittoku Kishibe and Keiko Matsuzaka won several awards for their powerful performances. Radiance Films is proud to present this unique film on Blu-ray for the first time in the world.
