  With A GHOST STORY, acclaimed director David Lowery (AIN'T THEM BODIES SAINTS, PETE'S DRAGON) returns with a singular exploration of legacy, loss, and the essential human longing for meaning and connection. Recently deceased, a white-sheeted ghost (Academy Award-winner Casey Affleck) returns to his suburban home to console his bereft wife (Academy Award-nominee Rooney Mara), only to find that in his spectral state he has become unstuck in time, forced to watch passively as the life he knew and the woman he loves slowly slip away. Increasingly unmoored, the ghost embarks on a cosmic journey through memory and history, confronting life's ineffable questions and the enormity of existence. An unforgettable meditation on love and grief, A GHOST STORY emerges ecstatic and surreal - a wholly unique experience that lingers long after the credits roll.

• Daiei Gothic - Japanese Ghost Stories | Blu Ray | (28/10/2024) from £46.35   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  A collection of three of Japan's most famous ghost stories that have haunted people for centuries. Kenji Misumi (Lone Wolf and Cub) directs The Ghost of Yotsuya, in which a woman returns from the grave as a horribly disfigured phantom to torment her husband and his new bride. In The Snow Woman, directed by Tokuzo Tanaka (Zatoichi), a woodcutter must keep his oath to a vengeful female spirit or pay the ultimate price. The Bride from Hades by Satsuo Yamamoto (Shinobi) sees a handsome samurai so enchanted by a courtesan's beauty that he fails to realise that is a ghost. These three film versions from the Daiei studio form a pinnacle of atmospheric Japanese horror. Their elegant visuals and ominous shadows rival the best of Terence Fisher or Mario Bava, while their iconic female ghosts would greatly influence Asian genre cinema, from Hong Kong fantasy spectacles such as A Chinese Ghost Story to J-horror.LIMITED EDITION BOX SET SPECIAL FEATURES New 4K restorations of The Bride from Hades and The Snow Woman High-Definition digital transfer of The Ghost of Yotsuya Uncompressed mono PCM audio for each film Optional English subtitles for all films Newly designed box and booklet artwork by Time Tomorrow Six postcards featuring original archive imagery from the films Limited edition 80-page perfect bound book featuring new writing by authors Tom Mes and Zack Davisson, newly translated archival reviews and ghost stories by Lafcadio Hearn Limited Edition of 4,000 copies presented in a rigid box with full-height Scanavo cases for each film and removable OBI strip leaving packaging free of certificates and markings THE GHOST OF YOTSUYA New interview with filmmaker Kiyoshi Kurosawa A visual essay on the history and adaptations of the classic Ghost of Yotsuya story by author Kyoko Hirano Trailer Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Filippo Di Battista THE BRIDE FROM HADES Audio commentary by author Jasper Sharp New interview with filmmaker Hiroshi Takahashi Trailer Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Filippo Di Battista THE SNOW WOMAN New interview with filmmaker Masayuki Ochiai A visual essay on writer Lafcadio Hearn Trailer Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Filippo Di Battista
