Yokohama BJ Blues (blu ray) Limited Edition

YOKOHAMA BJ BLUES (1981) directed by Eiichi Kudo is a loose remake of Robert Altman’s The Long Goodbye and stars Yusaku Matsuda (THE GAME TRILOGY) as a part-time blues singer framed for the killing of his police detective best friend.

He must start his own investigation to clear his name, but what he uncovers is a tangled web involving crooked cops, drug-dealing gangsters, the city’s underground gay and biker scenes, and even his own past.

Drawing also from Visconti’s Death in Venice, this was Matsuda’s break with his action hero image. Samurai movie veteran Eiichi Kudo (The Fort of Death) relishes his chance at directing a neo-noir that captures urban Japan at the height of 1980s decadence.

Limited edition of 3000 copies, presented in full-height Scanavo packaging with removable OBI strip leaving packaging free of certificates and markings with limited edition booklet.
