{"product_id":"rampo-noir-limited-edition-blu-ray","title":"Rampo Noir (Limited Edition) [Blu-ray]","description":"\u003cp\u003eRampo Noir Blu-ray brings together four radically distinct visions inspired by the work of Edogawa Rampo, Japan’s most influential writer of macabre, mystery, and erotic-grotesque fiction. Produced by the team behind Ichi the Killer and Uzumaki, this audacious anthology transforms Rampo’s unsettling themes into a kaleidoscope of psychological horror, body distortion, obsession, and fractured identity, filtered through the voices of four singular filmmakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Mars’s Canal, visual artist Suguru Takeuchi crafts an abstract meditation on duality as a man confronts a distorted version of himself reflected in a circular pond. Akio Jissoji, a key figure of the Japanese New Wave and a longtime Ultraman director, brings his signature stylized minimalism to Mirror Hell, a tale of madness rooted in reflections and warped perception. Cult provocateur Hisayasu Sato delivers the anthology’s most harrowing segment with Caterpillar, a brutally intimate portrait of a mutilated war veteran trapped in a marriage defined by cruelty and sexual domination. Finally, manga artist Atsushi Kaneko makes his directorial debut with Crawling Bugs, an obsessive psychological thriller centered on voyeurism and power dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing an exceptional ensemble cast including Tadanobu Asano and Ryuhei Matsuda, Rampo Noir is a bold cinematic tribute to the erotic grotesque tradition that defined Edogawa Rampo’s legacy. Arrow Video presents the film for the first time outside Japan on Blu-ray, loaded with extensive interviews, archival material, and a feature-length making-of documentary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edirected by: Akio Jissoji, Atsushi Kaneko, Hisayasu Sato, Suguru Takeuchi\u003cbr\u003estarring: Tadanobu Asano, Ryuhei Matsuda, Yuko Daike, Tomoya Nakamura, Mikako Ichikawa, Susumu Terajima\u003cbr\u003e2005 \/ 134 min\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLanguage: Japanese\u003cbr\u003eDiscs: 1\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arrow Video","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46123317723206,"sku":null,"price":39.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/8096\/6982\/files\/file_9771d4d5-a333-4128-9d22-345504b5031b.jpg?v=1791342754","url":"https:\/\/peakbooks.co\/products\/rampo-noir-limited-edition-blu-ray","provider":"Peak Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
