Hana-Bi (Fireworks) is an award winning Japanese crime drama. It was originally released in 1997 and has won 19 awards around the world. The film has now been restored in digital HD for it’s North American debut on blu-ray. Bonus features include film critic commentary and a “making of Hana-Bi” featurette. The movie is in Japanese with English language subtitles. It isn’t rated and is best for adults. Hana-Bi is a gripping and thought provoking story. This is the kind of movie that I like to watch more than once and discuss with a friend wondering what decisions I would make, if I found myself in a similar situation.
