Stéphane Du Mesnildot (dont je ne peux que vous recommander la lecture de son excellent Soleil Rouge) à propos de Theater of Life :
"Chef d'œuvre du mélodrame yakuza, esthétiquement sublime."
Très fier de cette première sortie mondiale en blu ray.

Thrilled to say that my video essay on Toei Ninkyō Eiga is part of this release! Thank you again @robotofilms.bsky.social for this great opportunity.
