 Description
[Machine Translation] Kon Ichikawa's masterpiece, starring Yutaka Mizutani, is back on Blu-ray in a hybrid edition! Directed by Kon Ichikawa and starring Yutaka Mizutani, this film was released in 1981 (Toho). Adapted from Ed McBain's 87th Precinct series, this is an excellent human drama centered around a case involving a detective and his girlfriend. University student Niwako ( Rie Nakahara ) calls her boyfriend, detective Kita ( Toshiyuki Nagashima ), to tell him that she will be about an hour late for their date. That afternoon, a shooting death occurs at a bookstore, and she and Detective Murakami ( Yutaka Mizutani ) go to the scene. And among the three victims, there was Niwako. Kita is left in despair and anger when he sees Niwako's body stained with bright red blood. Kita began to investigate the background of the three victims, and learned from the wife of one of the victims, Endo, that her husband had paid 4 million yen to the co-owner of a soba noodle shop, who had left the business to start his own business. Moreover, the co-owner was a gambling maniac who was chased by debts and cheated them out of their money. When it was discovered, Endo was shot dead and Niwako became a collateral damage. Through frantic investigation, detectives Murakami and Kita capture the culprit in his hideout. However, as Murakami solves the case, he thinks about the situation of Niwako, who was raised by her father after her mother ran away, and about his two children, who he is raising by himself after his wife runs away from home. A special booklet is enclosed. A BD/DVD Hybrid disc consists of both DVD video disc and Blu-ray disc layers on a single disc.
