GOZU DELUXE BOX (4K UHD + BLU RAY) LIMITED EDITION

When yakuza enforcer Minami is ordered to dispose of his increasingly unstable mentor, Ozaki, a mysterious disappearance sends him on a journey into a bizarre rural town where reality begins to dissolve. As his search descends into a surreal nightmare filled with eccentric strangers, grotesque visions, and impossible encounters, Minami finds himself trapped in one of cinema's most unforgettable fever dreams. Directed by Takashi Miike, GOZU is a wildly imaginative blend of psychological horror, pitch-black comedy, and Lynchian surrealism that stands as one of the director's most daring and acclaimed works.
