A clip from “Giants & Toys,” by one our very favorite filmmakers, Yasuzo Masumura. Masumura made a number of pitch-black satires about post-war corporatization in Japan, and this film - featuring warring candy companies and one model with very rotten teeth - is one of those. It’s the first Masumura film we saw, on DVD, during our time working at Kim’s Video, and we’ve been able to see about 20 of his films with English subs since, on video, and a number at NYC’s Japan Society. (The great, and dearly departed Fantoma label put out a number of his films in the DVD era, along with key Kenneth Anger, Coffin Joe, early Fassbinder, Jodorowsky, Corbucci and Sam Fuller titles.) ———— Despite this, and despite noted critic Jonathan Rosenbaum’s championing of him, he remains almost unknown in the states. He’s also notably absent from the blank, bland algorithmically-generated world of “streaming content.”——-Now, the UK’s wonderful @arrowvideo is making this film available on Blu-Ray (they did a double feature of two of his other business satires a few months back). Despite so few people buying home video now, and it being a niche interest at best, we’re probably in the strongest era of it ever, content-and-quality-wise. We say all this, because we urge you to outfit your living pod with a proper Blu-Ray player and partake in this wonderful era of film restoration, film writing, film scholarship and great illustration and design work that companies like Arrow are doing right now. ——— You can pre-order “Giants & Toys” at @diabolikdvd right now! #yasuzomasumura #hitominozoe #giantsandtoys #bluray #homevideo #japanesecinema #fantoma #japansociety #jonathanrosenbaum #filmrestoration #filmscholarship #filmwriting #arrowvideo #arrow #diabolikdvd #kimsvideo #candy #rottenteeth #bigbusiness #satire #corpratization #tipstoavoidblankblandalgorthmicallygeneratedstreamingcontent (at The Living Pod) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLwy7J8Fu2A/?igshid=19a7zfh020kzy

Reality Sound Byte of the Day...

"And whilst I don't deny the value of technical knowledge, such knowledge matters very little if the story one is trying to tell doesn't matter, either because it's incoherent or simply because it fails to make us care."
