The Whale God (SRS Cinema)

[DukeTogo84]

I feel like this is one I need to promote as it's probably going to go under a lot radars, but SRS put up for pre-order yesterday The Whale God.

This is a classic Japanese film that never even got a DVD here before and it's costarring the great Shintaru Katsu from Zatoichi fame. It's a film about obsession and honor and is simply a great film. I'll list post the link to where you can buy and all the specs below.

This is a film that deserves some love and I really hope it does well for them as they took a chance with it. Also, the artwork is simply fantastic.

A small Japanese village is obsessed with killing a monstrous whale that has decimated its hunting parties. The town’s wealthiest man offers his land, position, and only daughter to the individual who can kill the demon whale. Shaki, a popular young man whose family has been massacred by the beast, steps forward vowing to slay the whale and avenge his relations, but his efforts are complicated by a brutish stranger to the village also intent on killing the monster and collecting on the promised riches. Based on Koichiro Uno’s award-winning novel published the previous year and scripted by visionary writer-director Kaneto Shindo, this loose adaptation of Herman Melville’s Moby Dick captures the madness and danger of whaling and combines it with period drama and kaiju monster effects.
