The Valiant Red Peony (blu ray) standard edition
THE VALIANT RED PEONY: RED PEONY GAMBLER 1 - 3 blu-ray release by Eureka Entertainment (standard edition, no slipcase or booklet).
Originally released between 1968 and 1972, theĀ Red Peony GamblerĀ series is a cornerstone of theĀ ninkyo eigaĀ genre and a clear influence on such cult favourites such asĀ Lady SnowbloodĀ and Quentin TarantinoāsĀ Kill Bill. The Masters of Cinema series is proud to present the first threeĀ Red Peony GamblerĀ films, starring Sumiko Fuji (13 Assassins) and directed by three titans of Japanese genre cinema in KÅsaku Yamashita, Norifumi Suzuki and Tai KatÅ.
Set during the Meiji era,Ā Red Peony GamblerĀ stars Fuji as Ryuko Yano, the daughter of a gambler. When her father is murdered, Ryuko takes on a new name derived from the crimson flower tattooed on her shoulder ā āOryu, the Red Peonyā ā and sets out for revenge. Then, inĀ Red Peony Gambler 2: Gamblerās Obligation, Oryu falls in with a group of yakuza attempting to monopolise the silk trade. When machinations within the gang lead to a betrayal, the Red Peony takes action. Finally, inĀ Red Peony Gambler 3: The Flower Cards Game, Oryu meets a pair of star-crossed lovers as she becomes embroiled in a conflict between rival yakuza clans.
Fuji would go on to play the Red Peony five more times, cementing the character as the archetype for many of the vengeful women to follow in Japanese cinema and beyond. These early entries in theĀ Red Peony GamblerĀ series are presented here for the first time ever on Blu-ray from brand new restorations of the original film elements by Toei.
