Devils On The Doorstep (DVD, 2005) w/ Sleeve
Jiang Wen’s controversial masterpiece Devils on the Doorstep (2000) arrives in this 2005 Special Edition DVD, preserving the Cannes Grand Prix-winning WWII satire in its uncensored glory. Banned in China for its subversive portrayal of Japanese occupation, this darkly comedic epic—shot in stark black-and-white—follows a village’s chaotic hostage crisis with Jiang’s signature blend of visceral realism and absurdist fury. The DVD’s director-approved transfer showcases Gu Changwei’s (Farewell My Concubine) breathtaking cinematography, while rare supplements (like Jiang’s defiant commentary) underscore its status as one of Asian cinema’s most politically daring works. A essential for collectors of New Chinese Cinema, wartime allegories, or films that risked everything for their vision.
