This highly collectable 4-disc box set highlights his mastery of the crime genre bringing together four of his finest thrillers. Included here is the yakuza gangster drama Drunken Angel (1948); the atmospheric police thriller Stray Dog (1949); the tale of corporate greed and corruption, The Bad Sleep Well (1947); and the gripping Ed Mcbain adaptation High and Low (1963).Special Features:Extensive illustrated booklet featuring essays and film notes Review: WOW, what a fantastic box set! - As an owner of BFI's Samurai/Classic and now Crime collection, I can honestly say that BFI does a fantastic job. I only discovered Kurosawa earlier this year and am now captivated by his deep and profound movies. Kurosawa plays with our minds and makes the viewer question themselves. I don't know what the original quality of the films were like, but BFI has restored it to an easily watch-able standard, you won't even mind that the films are black&white! The design of the box set is truly worthy of being part of anyone's film collection. Any fan of Kurosawa would love this, some of the greatest films ever made to be part of your film collection. Well as you know from the product description, the films provided are: Drunken Angel (1948); Stray Dog (1949); The Bad Sleep Well (1947); High and Low (1963); High and Low is probably my favourite, the film certainly drags your attention and you can't help but think about the value of human life. Kurosawa creates a style of suspense which rivals against Alfred Hitchcock in his own personal style, definitely a fantastic film, step by step the mystery unfolds. I would write a brief description of the rest, but thats for you to find out yourself ( Review: BFI comes up trumps again.... - As a loving owner of BFI's Kurosawa's Samurai Collection, I was keen to get my hands on his Crime Collection. Compared to the Samurai set, which is a good bit cheaper and in which you get more films, this one's value for money is less. desertcart (at time of purchase) had it cheapest that I could find and the way I compared it was to cost the four films as individual DVDs. Also, I had only seen Drunken Angel (1948) on VHS a few years ago and wanted to see it again properly. The other three I hadn't. Therefore I was going to get full value from it. The others included are Stray Dog (1949), The Bad Sleep Well (1960) and High & Low (1963). At least 3 of the 4 are very well acclaimed, both publicly and critically. As we can expect from a BFI box-set, it is impeccably presented in its signature black and white and comes with a card outer sleeve. It opens up with two discs on each side. The back has a neat summation on each film with plot, film lengths and ratios etc. Included is a rather nice booklet that includes quite comprehensive background info for each movie and still photos from the production company. Nowhere in the literature can I find it saying that BFI have restored any of these films. Both late '40s films looked a bit greyer and flatter than those in the Samurai Collection, but those were made later. There was an occasional scratch line and flicker and the sound had a few minor crackles. With volume turned up quite loud hiss was well controlled. Generally, the transfers are good, bearing in mind their age, but not outstanding. The two later ones look better, whilst not perfect they had no noticeable blemishes. I've reviewed all four films here separately, on desertcart, so for more details on each, please look under their individual titles. If, like me, you've enjoyed Kurosawa's more well known classics and wish to explore him further, then getting this set is a natural progression and really worthwhile addition to any collector's DVD library. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005HPQ7O6 | | Actors | Toshiro Mifune | | Aspect Ratio | Unknown | | Best Sellers Rank | 10,869 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 269 in World Cinema (DVD & Blu-ray) 1,432 in Thriller (DVD & Blu-ray) 1,786 in Box Sets (DVD & Blu-ray) | | Customer reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (100) | | Director | Akira Kurosawa | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 5035673009345 | | Language | Japanese (Dolby Digital 2.0) | | Media Format | Box set, Dolby, PAL, THX | | Number of discs | 4 | | Product Dimensions | 17.5 x 13.7 x 2 cm; 180 g | | Release date | 24 Oct. 2011 | | Run time | 7 hours and 39 minutes | | Studio | BFI Video | | Subtitles: | English | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Akira Kurosawa, Toshiro Mifune - **Format:** Box set, Dolby, PAL, THX - **Genre:** Drama, Thriller - **Language:** Japanese - **Runtime:** 7 hours and 39 minutes ## Images ![Kurosawa: Crime Collection [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71k7gkqge8L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WOW, what a fantastic box set! *by A***M on 25 August 2012* As an owner of BFI's Samurai/Classic and now Crime collection, I can honestly say that BFI does a fantastic job.
