Three Extremes: Cut
Appearing with virtually no advance notice - as often happens with Hong Kong releases - Sion Sono’s Japanese cult hit EXTE, starring Chiaki Kuriyama of Battle Royale and Kill Bill fame is about to hit DVD in Hong Kong. I’ve actually managed to miss this one at a handful of festivals over the past year and so haven’t seen it yet but it is absolutely adored by a good number of folk around these parts and won a rave review in these pages when it played Fantasia. The DVD hits January 4th and includes English subtitles. You’ll find the trailer and music video embedded in the Twitch Video Player below the break.

This is a fun flick but not up there with Sono’s masterpieces. The HK release is bound to be cheap but it’s also bound to be bare bones and you’ll miss the excellent making of docu that was on the Japanese and German DVD releases and will - hopefully - be on the forthcoming American DVD as well.
