The time has come for our very first edition of Imprint Asia – our brand-new line of contemporary & classic Asian cinema. These three remarkable films are coming to Blu-ray in March.

 

We are kicking off with 2023 Chinese blockbuster LOST IN THE STARS, a Hitchcockian crime mystery thriller produced by Chen Sicheng, “one of the giants of contemporary Chinese Cinema” (Variety). The film follows the disappearance of He Fei’s wife, Li Muzi. When she returns, he insists that she is not his wife…

 

THE SEA IS WATCHING (2002) is coming to Blu-ray for the first time worldwide, a Japanese romance based on the final screenplay written by the legendary Akira Kurosawa. This is the story of a beautiful young geisha, who hides a samurai seeking refuge.

 

Our third Imprint Asia release is THE BLIND SWORDSMAN: ZATOICHI (2003), an action-packed revival of the classic Zatoichi series, directed, written, co-edited by and starring Takeshi Kitano (Battle Royale, Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence). This release includes a brand NEW Audio Commentary by film historian and author Sean Redmond.
