From the Arrow press release:
On March 4, Arrow Video exposes the debauchery of the Japanese nightclub scene in Play It Cool, with celebrated director Yasuzō Masumura (Red Angel and Blind Beast) deftly merging the erotic pinku-eiga genre with the dangerous Yakuza world. Play It Cool is being released for the very first time for the home video market outside of Japan in a brand new high-definition transfer on Blu-ray with hours of special features.
Yumi (Mari Atsumi, The Bodyguard) does her best to stay focused on graduating from college while her mother Tomi (Akemi Negishi, King Kong vs. Godzilla) works as a hostess at a local club to make ends meet. She dreams of a better life for Yumi, but those dreams get shattered when Yumi’s stepfather assaults her. In the wake of the incident, Yumi finds herself alone. To survive, she takes over her mother’s position as a hostess at the club and struggles with lecherous men and Yakuza who can’t keep their hands off her. Will she survive the dangerous world of nightlife culture?
The special features include audio commentary with critic and Japanese cinema specialist Jasper Sharp and professor and Japanese literature specialist Anne McKnight, video essay on Play it Cool and the career of writer-director Yasuzō Masumura by Japanese film scholar Mark Roberts, the theatrical trailer, an image gallery, and an illustrated collector’s booklet.
This is a genre and director that I know nothing about, but there may be some fans here that have waiting for it to be released on Blu-ray.
