Description

If you could choose only one memory to hold on to for eternity, what would it be? That’s the question at the heart of Hirokazu Kore-eda’s revelatory international breakthrough, a bittersweet fantasia in which the recently deceased find themselves in a limbo realm where they must select a single cherished moment from their life to be recreated on film for them to take into the next world. After Life’s high-concept premise is grounded in Kore‑eda’s documentary-like approach to the material, which he shaped through interviews with hundreds of Japanese citizens. What emerges is a panoramic vision of the human experience—its ephemeral joys and lingering regrets—and a quietly profound meditation on memory, our interconnectedness, and the amberlike power of cinema to freeze time. DIRECTOR-APPROVED BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES New 2K restoration, approved by writer-director Hirokazu Kore-eda, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack Audio commentary featuring film scholar Linda Ehrlich New interviews with Kore-eda, stills photographer–cinematographer Masayoshi Sukita, and cinematographer Yutaka Yamazaki Deleted scenes Trailer PLUS: An essay by novelist Viet Thanh Nguyen

Product Description Rescued by Doctor Easter from a deadly assault on their headquarters by Dimsdale Boiled, Rune Balot finds temporary shelter in "Paradise", a high-tech laboratory where the Scramble 09 protocol originated. While the severely injured Oeufcoque regenerates in a healing vat, Rune struggles to find the answers within herself that will let her equally injured psyche find some measure of peace. But as the search for clues to the location of Shell's hidden memories continues, Boiled finds them again, and Rune and the Doctor decide it's time to carry the war to the enemy. It's a world of high-stakes gambling and glamour, as Rune struggles to bring the man that murdered her to justice in the second combustible volume of Mardock Scramble! Amazon.com Combustion (2011) is the second of three features based on the Mardock Scramble novels by Tow Ubukata. After being rescued from a murderous gunfight with Dimsdale Boiled by Dr. Easter, agent Rune Balot finds temporary peace in the lab facility known as Paradise. As she wanders through its candy-colored forests, she waits for the mysterious figure known as Oeufcoque to recover. The villain engineering their problems is Shell Septinos, whose dangerous memories are stored in microchips hidden inside million-dollar chips in a flashy casino. Easter and Rune head for the casino, with Oeufcoque appearing as a glowing golden mouse, then as a pair of gloves that help Rune win at cards and roulette. At just over 60 minutes, Second Combustion plays like two episodes of an ongoing series. It begins where the first film ended and stops where the third presumably begins. The characters don't really grow or change, and the plot doesn't go much of anywhere--or make much sense. It's difficult to understand why it's being released on its own, rather than the three films as a set. The egg-based names quickly become inadvertently funny, but the gratuitous nudity and violence feel like throwbacks to the days of Demon City Shinjuku. In addition to the theatrical version of Second Combustion, the disc includes a director's cut that's about four minutes longer, but no clearer. The Mardock Scramble books were also adapted to a manga series, but plans for both an OVA and a live-action film failed to materialize. (Rated TV MA, VSD: graphic violence, violence against women, grotesque imagery, extensive nudity, tobacco and drug use) --Charles Solomon
