Norwegian Wood Blu-ray

On July 4th, independent British distributors Soda Pictures will release on Blu-ray Tran Anh Hung's Noruwei no mori a.k.a Norwegian Wood (2010). Earlier this year, the film won Best Cinematographer Award (Lee Ping Bin) at the Asian Film Awards. Special features and region coding status are unknown at the moment.

Haruki Murakamia's bestselling novel is brought to the screen by Tran Anh Hung (Golden Lion winner for Cyclo and Academy Award nominee for The Scent of Green Papaya) and features Japanese rising star Kenichi Matsuyama (Death Note, Detroit Metal City) and Oscar nominee Rinko Kikuchi (Babel) alongside newcomer Kiko Mizuhara. Tokyo, the late 1960. Students around the world are uniting to overthrow the establishment and Toru Watanabe's personal life is similarly in tumult. At heart, he is deeply devoted to his first love, Naoko, a beautiful and introspective young woman. But their complex bond has been forged by the tragic death of their best friend years before. Watanabe lives with the influence of death everywhere. That is, until Midori, a girl who is everything that Naoko is not - outgoing, vivacious, supremely self-confident - marches into his life and Watanabe must choose between his past and his future.
