| Summary |
A bad day gets worse for rookie detective Murakami when a pickpocket steals his gun on a hot, crowded bus. Desperate to right the wrong, he goes undercover, scavenging Tokyo's sweltering streets for the thief, whose desperation has led him to a life of crime. With each step, the cop and the criminal's lives become more intertwined and the investigation becomes an examination of Murakami's own dark side. |
| Note |
Includes: optional audio commentary by Stephen Prince, a 32 min. documentary on Stray dog from the series Akira Kurosawa: it is wonderful to create, and new English subtitles. Booklet featuring an excerpt form Kurosawa's autobiography, Something like an autobiography, in which he discusses Stray dog; and essays by film critics Terrence Rafferty and Chris Fujiwara. |
