Giants & Toys

"Fantoma's DVD of the film is wonderful and is a must for anyone who picked up their release of Blind Beast. Giants & Toys has been given an excellent new digital widescreen transfer (2.35:1 enhanced) and is available in its original Japanese mono soundtrack with optional English subtitles. The picture is sharp and clean throughout, giving the film's kinetic use of color a chance to really impress on one's mind. The disc also comes with a fantastic original theatrical trailer, photo and stills gallery, informative liner notes from Film Comment contributing editor Chuck Stephens, and a biography and filmography for the director. Along with this film and Blind Beast, Fantoma is set to release Masumura's Afraid to Die and Manji. If you haven't already discovered the heady pleasures of this fascinating, iconoclastic director -- do so. There's nothing quite like him around."
