Eclipse Series 38: Masaki Kobayashi Against the System DVD Set (Criterion Collection)
RELEASE DATE: April 16, 2013
Criterion Collection presents the DVD set for Eclipse Series 38: Masaki Kobayashi Against the System, which includes The Thick-Walled Room, I Will Buy You, Black River and The Inheritance. One of the most important filmmakers to emerge from Japan’s cinematic golden age, Masaki Kobayashi is best remembered today for his 1959 epic The Human Condition, but that is just one of the blistering films he made in a career dedicated to criticizing his country’s rigid social and political orders.
