Description

[Machine Translation] Sion Sono, the genius director of "Love Exposure" and "Himizu," presents his first entertainment film, the action action adventure "Why Are You Bad in Hell? The Blu-ray collector's edition released in March 2014 was a smash hit and is now out of press due to its limited initial run. Due to the ardent demand from fans, an encore pressing has been decided! Starring the daughter of a yakuza, the staff and cast are also yakuza, and the stage is set for a real war! Will the movie gods smile on the most "deadly movie" in history, or will they forsake it? The most "deadly film" in history, will the gods of cinema smile or forsake us? Winner of the Audience Award at the 70th Venice International Film Festival, the Audience Award at the 38th Toronto International Film Festival, the Best Picture and Director Awards at the Fantastic Film Festival, and the Audience Award at the Etrange International Film Festival. --Muto (Jun Kunimura), a yakuza boss, is planning to make a movie starring his daughter Mitsuko (Fumi Nikaido) to fulfill the dream of his wife Shizue (Tomochika), who is in prison, without regard to his main job. Every time he meets with Shizue, Muto tries to smooth over the situation by saying that the filming is going smoothly. However, the important thing is that Mitsuko is on the run with a man, and there are only nine days left until Shizue's release from prison. Muto manages to secure his daughter's custody by renting filming equipment from one source to another without regard for money, and then selects eloped man Kouji (Gen Hoshino), who Mitsuko introduced to him as a film director (though it is all a lie), to direct the film, and begins full-scale preparations for shooting. As a film director, Kouji must shoot the film with deception or he will be killed. Kimiji is easily caught by the gang members chasing him, but then a miraculous helper appears. It is Hirata (Hiroki Hasegawa), who has dreamed of becoming a movie director since he was a boy, saying, "Someday I want to make the movie of a lifetime. Hirata, who is now fully prepared to start setting up the details of the filming, believes that the movie gods have not abandoned him, and asks for the cooperation of Ikegami ( Shinichi Tsutsumi ), the head of a yakuza gang that opposes Muto, who has an unusual affection for Mitsuko due to a shocking encounter in the past. The film is about to be cranked out with lightning speed, with the entire staff and cast risking their lives in a genuine yakuza war... Outer case/picture disc specification. Jacket size postcard enclosed. The special changing postcard that was included in the 2014 edition will not be included.
