The Fall of Ako Castle (bluray) standard edition

The Fall of Ako Castle (bluray) standard edition

A retelling of the classic story of the 47 Ronin from the director of Battle Royale, Kinji Fukasaku.

A Eureka Entertainment release of Kinji Fukasaku’s samurai epic, THE FALL OF AKO CASTLE (1978), a retelling of the classic story of the 47 ronin. Presented on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK, as part of The Masters of Cinema Series.

Kinji Fukasaku (Battle Royale) brings together an ensemble cast, including two icons of Japanese cinema – Toshiro Mifune (Seven Samurai) and Sonny Chiba (The Street Fighter) – for this samurai epic, a retelling of the classic story of the 47 ronin.

When an injustice costs his master his life and estate, loyal retainer ƌishi (Kinnosuke Yorozuya, Bushido) vows revenge. Because the target of his vengeance is protected by the ruling shƍgunate, any retaliation would be seen as an act of treason. ƌishi assembles the remaining ranks of the now-masterless samurai and the 47 of them pledge a blood oath to avenge their slain lord. Tensions rise among the ranks of the ronin eager to launch the mission, as ƌishi bides his time awaiting the right time to strike. Enemy spies and assassins track ƌishi, who has seemingly fallen into vice; has he lost his sense of honour, or is it just a part of his plan?

The Fall of Ako Castle offers a moving tale of loyalty, betrayal, and sacrifice where classical history explodes into brutal samurai carnage. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Fukasaku’s retelling of one of Japan’s most resonant historical events.
