Suzhou River 2000 Lou Ye Limited Edition Blu-ray Radiance

Alfred Hitchcock laced with Wong Kar-wai?

Introducing Radiance Film's Limited Edition Blu-ray for Lou Ye 2000 acclaimed classic, Suzhou River. After getting out of prison, small-time crook Mardar stumbles upon a woman who looks exactly like his long-lost lover.

Set within the murky wastelands of Shanghai, Lou Ye’s award-winning re-tooling of Hitchcock’s Vertigo is a visual treat that features the kinetic style of Wong Kar-wai’s Chungking Express. A unique take on the neo-noir genre, Suzhou River is newly restored in 4K and made available on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This set contains a Blu-ray (Region B) Disc. An all-region Blu-ray player is required to read Region B Discs. Standard U.S. Blu-ray players will NOT read Region B Discs. Looking for all-region players? We've got you covered!
