The Emperor and The Assassin is another great but somewhat overlooked and forgotten film that needs a bluray release as well as Master Of The Flying Guillotine.

I can honestly say I haven’t seen many of these movies so excited to learn about them through your channel.

[@GojiraFerret]

I look forward to it. I'm glad you enjoyed the information. Let me know if there's anything you'd like different in my analysis' that would improve them.

I've been praying for an English friendly Bluray release for years. This is a phenomenal "color" samurai film. So many visually arresting scenes. A great guilt ridden protagonist, a well conceived plot as well as excellent subtitles all add to this Hideo Gosha masterpiece. A Japanese media label - Pony Canyon - has recently released a restored bluray edition with a great transfer but it has zero subtitles. How hard would it be to liscence a domestic release? C'mon Eureka, Criterion, somebody ...make this happen!

This would be a great addition to the Criterion Collection.

@@GojiraFerret They've already shown a willingness to mine Gosha's repertoire with "Three Outlaw Samurai" and "Sword of the Beast". Goyokin would be a day one purchase for me.

Hideo Gosha was a boss

Gosha is easily one of my favorite directors and deserves all the recognition he gets for his works.
