One of the most acclaimed Japanese directors of all time, Hiroshi Teshigahara distinguished himself in the sixties with a series of sinuous, atmospheric, and daring films. Teshigahara found his spiritual partner in novelist and screenwriter Kobo Abe, with whom he collaborated on these Kafkaesque portraits of identities in peril, films that captivated mainstream audiences while also touching the edges of the Japanese avant-garde. The existential ghost story Pitfall (Otoshiana), the shocking, erotic fable Woman in the Dunes (Sunna no onna), and the sci-fi뻯inged nightmare The Face of Another (Tanin no kao) are among cinema뭩 enduring enigmas and rarest pleasures.Title: Pitfall 1962Hiroshi Teshigahara뭩 debut feature and first collaboration with novelist Kobo Abe, Pitfall is many things: a mysterious, unsettling ghost story, a portrait of human alienation, and a compellingly surreal critique of soulless industry, shot in elegant black and white.CastHisashi IgawaKunie TanakaTitle: Woman in the Dunes 1964In this art-house sensation, an amateur entomologist has left Tokyo to study an unclassified species of beetle that resides in a remote, vast desert; when he misses his bus back to civilization, he spends the night with a young widow (Kiyoko Kishida) who lives at the bottom of a sand dune.CastEiji OkadaKyoko KishidaTitle: The Face of Another 1966In this staggering work of existential science fiction, Okuyama (Tatsuya Nakadai), after being burned and disfigured in an industrial accident and estranged from his family and friends, agrees to his psychiatrist뭩 radical new experiment: a face transplant, created from the mold of a stranger.CastTatsuya NakadaiMachiko KyōExtrasVideo essays on all three films by critic and festival programmer James Quandt.A new documentary about the working relationship beween Teshigahara and Kobo Abe, including interviews with Japanese-film scholars Donald Richie and Tadao Sato.Technical SpecsSource: Criterion DVD9Group/Ripper: Thanks to Dave.Rip and TLF TEAMVideo Format: Matroska and AVIVideo Bitrate: 1:[960 Kbps] 2:[848 Kbps] ] 3:[927 Kbps]Frame Rate: 1:[23.976] 2: [23.976] 3: [23.976]Aspect Ratio:1: [4:3] 2: [4:3] 3: [4:3]Resolution: 1:[664 x 448] 2: [664 x 448] 3:[664 x 448]Bits/(Pixel*Frame): 1:[0.135] 2: [0.119] 3: [0.130]Audio Format: 1:AAC 2:AAC 3:AACAudio Bitrate:Sampling rate: 1:48.0 KHz / 24.0 KHz 2:48.0 KHz / 24.0 KHz 3:48.0 KHz / 24.0 KHzSubtitles: English (muxed) and sub. + idx.DownloadBig file:Code:http://ryushare.com/53c3b3c934f4/Three.Films.by.Hiroshi.Teshigahara.rarSmall file:Code:http://rapidgator.net/file/40214675/Three.Films.by.Hiroshi.Teshigahara.part1.rar.htmlhttp://rapidgator.net/file/40214725/Three.Films.by.Hiroshi.Teshigahara.part2.rar.htmlhttp://rapidgator.net/file/40214877/Three.Films.by.Hiroshi.Teshigahara.part3.rar.htmlhttp://rapidgator.net/file/40214916/Three.Films.by.Hiroshi.Teshigahara.part4.rar.htmlhttp://rapidgator.net/file/40215081/Three.Films.by.Hiroshi.Teshigahara.part5.rar.htmlhttp://rapidgator.net/file/40215158/Three.Films.by.Hiroshi.Teshigahara.part6.rar.htmlhttp://rapidgator.net/file/40215321/Three.Films.by.Hiroshi.Teshigahara.part8.rar.htmlhttp://rapidgator.net/file/40215351/Three.Films.by.Hiroshi.Teshigahara.part7.rar.html
