RELEASE DATE: October 20, 2015

Criterion Collection presents the Blu-ray & DVD for 1965’s Kwaidan, directed by Masaki Kobayashi (Harakiri). This release is the original 3-hour cut, never before released in the United States.

After a decade of political dramas and social-minded period pieces, Kobayashi shifted gears for this stylized quartet of ghost stories. Featuring surreal sets and luminous cinematography, these haunting tales, adapted from Lafcadio Hearn’s collections of Japanese folklore, are existentially frightening and meticulously crafted. | Watch the trailer.
