Two Faces of Tai Kato on Blu-ray

Cynical doctor Amamiya (Noboru Ando) stayed removed from his neighborhood's tensions between Yakuza and ethnic Korean gangs. That was until he recognized a dying Korean thug brought to his office-and the physician reflected on the hood's role in his life dating back to wartime, in Tai Kato's singular crime story "By a Man's Face Shall You Know Him" (1966). Then, in Kato's "I, the Executioner" (1968), cops work to ensnare the serial murder Kawashima (Makoto Sato)... and ultimately come to realize a jaw-dropping linkage between his female victims. 179 min. Total. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Japanese; Subtitles: English; featurettes; theatrical trailers. In Japanese with English subtitles.
