The Betrayal Unknown

| Unknown

To protect his clan, an honourable samurai (Raizo Ichikawa, Shinobi) takes the blame for a murder committed by one of his fellows. He is promised a safe return after one year in exile, but this vow is broken and he becomes a fugitive chased by his own clansmen. Disillusioned by the bushido code of honour, he realises there are only two ways out: vengeance or death. From director Tokuzo Tanaka (The Snow Woman), a former assistant to Akira Kurosawa, this cruel jidaigeki stands alongside such notable works of the genre as Harakiri and Sword of Doom with its classic mix... of honour codes and samurai action. Beautifully filmed in black and white ˜scope with thrilling set pieces, The Betrayal features one of the most breathtaking finales in all of samurai cinema.LIMITED EDITION BLU-RAY SPECIAL FEATURESHigh-Definition digital transfer by KadokawaUncompressed mono PCM audioSelect-scene audio commentary by Japanese film historian Tom Mes (2025)A visual essay by film critic Philip Kemp, comparing The Betrayal with the original Orochi the Serpent (2025)A visual essay on director Tokuzo Tanaka by Tom Mes (2025)New English subtitle translationReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Time TomorrowLimited edition booklet featuring new writing by Alain SilverLimited edition of 3000 copies, presented in full-height Scanavo packaging with removable OBI strip leaving packaging free of certificates and markings [show more]
