We analyze in Cinemascomics the releases of Arvi Licensing in Blu-Ray, Tokyo Godfathers and That Exciting Course
At Cinemascomics we have analyzed the Blu-Ray home edition of both Tokyo Godfathers (Sony Pictures, 2003) as of That Exciting Course (Universal Pictures, 1982), both of which have been re-released in physical format by Arvi Licensing. While Tokyo Godfathers (東京ゴッドファーザーズ) is written and directed by Satoshi Kon (Perfect Blue), That Exciting Course (Fast Times at Ridgemont High) is directed by Amy Heckerling (Clueless: Clueless) and written by Cameron Crowe (Jerry Maguire).
Both films are already available on DVD and Blu-Ray, as well as for digital sale and rental, although unfortunately these new editions of these cult films do not contain extras.
Tokyo Godfathers (Tôkyô goddofâzâzu) is a traditional Japanese animation film, co-directed by Shôgo Furuya (The Tale of Princess Kaguya) and co-written by Keiko Nobumoto (Cowboy Bebop); Awarded in 2003 at the Sitges Film Festival as Best Animated Feature Film.
Synopsis: It’s Christmas and snow covers the streets of Tokyo. In Shinjuku, three homeless people survive the cold as best they can: Gin, Hana and Miyuki. When one night they hear some cries coming out of some containers, they will find an abandoned baby in it. While Gin insists on taking him to the police, Hana prefers that they be the ones to look for her parents, so they go on an adventure throughout the city.
