Another Asian home video release from this week that I recommend highly is Hur Jin-ho's adaptation of Dangerous Liaisons, which sets the story in 1930s Shanghai. It's a Chinese production with a Korean director and male lead opposite two major Chinese actresses.

An historical aside: China is just on the verge of war with Japan over the The Manchurian Incident, an event that is examined briefly at the beginning of the sixth installment of Discovering Ozu.

The production design and cinematography are gorgeous, and the performances are stellar all around. The Blu-ray runs $20 and it's also rentable on iTunes at the standard $3/$5 SD/HD rate.
