Distributor SRS Cinema has announced the launch of preorders for their Blu-ray edition of the documentary ISHIRO HONDA: MEMOIRS OF A FILM DIRECTOR. Directed by Jonathan Bellés, the film delves into the life and cinematic career of the director of GODZILLA and many other Toho classics.
ISHIRO HONDA: MEMOIRS OF A FILM DIRECTOR will spotlight Honda’s filmography from both a historical and personal perspective, exploring his contributions to the Japanese film industry and his firsthand experiences of war, from which he barely survived. It will also delve into his profound feelings regarding the atomic bomb, a subject that became an obsession for him and was frequently reflected in his films.
The documentary will analyze Honda’s body of work through interviews with individuals who had the privilege of collaborating with him, as well as experts on Honda’s films from both Japan and the Western world.
Furthermore, the film will uncover Honda’s friendship and professional relationship with director Akira Kurosawa.
This release is on professionally burned and labeled BD-R's. However, if 200 units sell by February 28, SRS Cinema will expand the release to pressed BDs and 1000 unis.
Fans who preorder ISHIRO HONDA: MEMOIRS OF A FILM DIRECTOR will get a free mini poster while supplies last.
