The Coward Digitally Remastered

[Machine Translation] The classics are always new - Satyajit Ray's masterpieces, digitally remastered and brought back to life in beautiful quality, are now available on Blu-ray! Akira Kurosawa, Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, Wes Anderson... Satyajit Ray is a giant in the world of cinema, admired by the greatest filmmakers in the world. During his lifetime, Satyajit Ray produced more than 30 films and had an immeasurable impact not only on Indian cinema but also on filmmakers around the world. His films have never faded away, thanks to his deep insights into human nature, poetic imagery, and sense of music. Shomitro Chatterjee, a regular in the director's films, plays the role of Ami, the screenwriter and protagonist of Kolkota. Ami is unfortunate when the cab she is in breaks down, but she ends up staying at the home of Bimal, a wealthy tea plantation owner, who kindly allows her to stay at his house. To his surprise, Bimal's wife, Korna, is a former lover whom Ami lost many years ago due to his indecision. The film depicts the clash between old values such as family, marriage, male chauvinism, and hierarchy, and new values such as individual freedom, love, and self-determination. This is the first theatrical release of this film in Japan. The trailer for "Satyajit Ray Retrospective 2025" will be included as a video bonus (tentative). Postcard enclosed (planned).
