Samurai Champloo - Vol. 3 (DVD)
Animi director Shinichiro Watanabe became a legend with the popularity of his COWBOY BEBOP, and his follow-up SAMURAI CHAMPLOO features a similar blending of genres and attitudes. Set in feudal Japan, set to a hip-hop soundtrack, with numerous creative anachronisms, SAMURAI CHAMPLOO finds three characters journeying through the countryside. The dissimilar warriors Mugen and Jin are held in uneasy alliance by flaky Muu, who leads them on a quest to find
the samurai who smells of sunflowers.
In VOLUME THREE, the adventurers find survival difficult, whether it be in the big city or the wilderness, but the true test of their resolve will be their interpersonal conflicts and rivalries.

With a suspenseful plotline that keeps viewers glued to the screen awaiting each new development in this harsh tale of miners and murder in northern China, BLIND SHAFT depicts desperate men who will do anything for money. Controversial in its commentary on China's social problems, with characters poisoned by greed and infidelity having abandoned their families and lost any sense of dignity, the story is anything but simple. Mid-way through, the film it takes an endearing turn that changes the plotline into a true morality tale, which is followed up by a completely unexpected ending.Two con men, Song (Li Yixiang) and Tang (Wang Shuangbao), have devised a nearly flawless scam. They coerce a man into posing as their brother--explaining that it's the only way they can get him a job in the coal mine--and then they murder him. They make it look like a mining accident, and collect a hefty sum from the mine owner for their loss. Instead of sending all the money home to their school-age children, they spend much of it on prostitutes. When they choose their next victim, Yuan (Wang Baoqiang), a teenage boy trying to earn money for school, they instantly sense that something, this time around, is wrong. Writer-director-producer Li Yang has created a richly layered film with BLIND SHAFT, which was banned in China because it was made without permission from the official film bureau.DVD Features:Region (Unknown)Keep CaseLetterboxed - 1.85Additional Release Material: Trailers Production NotesText/Photo Gallery Biography - 1.
