House of Bamboo!!!
![]() ![]() A color noir set in Japan with cinematography in gorgeous CinemaScope by Joseph MacDonald (who also shot The Sand Pebbles, The Young Lions, Bigger Than Life, Mackenna's Gold, and Pickup on South Street, among many others). House of Bamboo was, I believe, the first post-WWII American film to be shot entirely on location in Japan. And best of all......directed by Samuel Fuller. His name alone in front of a film makes me weep tears of joy. ![]() In my years of seeking out Fuller's movies, here is what I have learned: I suggest sitting down in front of your display with a fat stogie between your teeth, a glass of whiskey in your hand, and letting the world of Sam Fuller engulf you. Scratch the surface of his awesome two-fisted dialogue, gripping action, tough guys and even tougher dames, dramatic stories often revolving around combat and crime, and you will uncover remarkable social commentary. He was ahead of his time and his filmic voice spoke from a place of authority based on his own life's experiences. Few filmmakers could match him for the stylistic and narrative poetry that elevated his stories of the evil that men do. He takes us on a journey into the heart of darkness, into the absurdity and hubris accompanying the crash and burn of modern society, shows us the bitter depths of conflict and alienation, casts his camera's eye onto the lives of the lost and the damned wandering amid the wreckage, and makes us love it all. Fuller's frequent in-your-face attitude and carefully crafted subtlety in dealing with central themes such as the brutality of war and the corrosiveness of bigotry are like a fist slamming down on a table. He just might topple your whiskey bottle while making his point. Last edited by oildude; 04-12-2015 at 07:17 PM. |

Anyway, House of Bamboo is by far the best film of the three - looking forward to retiring my old Fox Noir DVD. |

Hoping MOC or another label overseas will handle BAMBOO. I'm getting weary of paying premium prices for near bare bones releases and, for me, inappropriately modernized artwork adding insult to injury.
I agree that we are heading into more and more of a niche market for releases like these, but given the choice I will aim as much money as I can toward TT competitors who offer more bang for my buck. |

Got my House Of Bamboo today and although I was hoping they might have shown some mercy with the amount of teal push this one turns out to be as bad as if not worse than any previous Fox title I've seen. In the opening scenes the snow is actually blue! Luckily my set allows me to change the color settings so that it's at least watchable for me, but really a shame that the studio had to go and ruin this great, great movie.

No matter how many people claim the teal look is the original look, I simply don't like that look! I'll stick with my DVD's for that lovely creamy Fox Deluxe color. |
