Arriving on January 18, 2027 is Arrow Films/Toy Robot Video’s Blu-ray for 1999’s Hakuchi: The Innocent. Director Macoto Tezka’s haunting drama is a surreal dystopian film set in an alternate Japan where World War II never ended and nightly bombing raids have reduced the country to ruins.
Izawa (Tadanobu Asano) is a lowly production assistant in the corporate monolith Media Station, housed in a gleaming building that towers above the ruins of Tokyo. He lives in squalor among pigs and chickens in an old tailor’s house, perpetually contemplating suicide.
One day, he discovers a young woman, Sayo (Miyako Koda), the wife of the neighborhood lunatic, hiding in his room, and very soon an odd and beautiful relationship develops between these two deeply lonely souls.
