Arrow Films to Release The Game Trilogy in June

Written by Richard Durrance on 31 Mar 2023



Hot on the heels of Eureka's recent announcements, Arrow Films are set to release Toru Murakawa's Game Trilogy for the first time outside Japan.

Starring Yusaku Matsuda, who died tragically young, and best known to me in the second of Seijun Suzuki's Taisho Trilogy Kagero-za, means June is shaping up to be an excellent month for classic Japanese film releases.

Synopsis:
In this career-defining triptych, Matsuda is Shohei Narumi, an ice cool hitman of few words, a steely trigger finger, and a heart of stone, hired in The Most Dangerous Game by a company bidding for a lucrative government air defence contract to take out the competition. In The Killing Game, Narumi finds himself caught in the midst of violent yakuza gang warfare, while his own brutal past catches up with him in the form of two beautiful women still bearing the emotional scars of his past assignments. In The Execution Game, Narumi falls for a mysterious saloon bar chanteuse who may or may not be part of the same, shadowy underworld organisation as the rival hitmen he is employed to rub out.


The Limited Edition includes:

  • High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentations of all films
  • Original lossless mono Japanese soundtracks
  • Optional newly translated English subtitles
  • Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Tony Stella
  • Double-sided fold-out poster featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Tony Stella
  • Illustrated collector’s booklet featuring new writing on the films by Hayley Scanlon and Dimitri Ianni
