The Sting Of Death Limited Edition Blu-Ray

In the aftermath of 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 filmed in a hyper-realistic style that is equal parts picturesque and relentless. With stunning cinematography, strong lead actors, and a vivid portrayal of small-town life in postwar Japan, The Sting of Death won the Grand Prix 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 remarkable film on Blu-ray for the first time in the world.
