Well Go USA is ending the month of July on a high note with Bernard Rose’s Samurai Marathon, and Joko Anwar’s Southeast Asian superhero franchise inaugural, Gundala, both on Blu-Ray and DVD. Rose’s film is out now with the latter coming out on July 28, and for this, we’re launching our paired giveaway for both films!
About Samurai Marathon:
Acclaimed filmmaker Bernard Rose has created a stunning visual feast complemented by a haunting score from iconic composer Philip Glass. Inspired by a race still held annually in Japan, Samurai Marathon is a lively action flick with a samurai twist. In late feudal Japan, a young ninja (Satoh) operates undercover in the court of an aging lord and his rebellious daughter. When the lord challenges his lazy samurai to a punishing marathon—joined covertly by Princess Yuki—the ninja finds his loyalties put to the test. Facing impossible odds, this unusual band of characters is running a race to either win or die.
About Gundala:
Based on the classic comic, GUNDALA is a poignant portrayal of the notion that heroes—whether everyday or superhuman—can be found anywhere (though a superpower never hurts). Indonesian orphan Sancaka spent his life on the streets trying to attract as little attention as possible, but when greed and violence reach a fever pitch in Jakarta, it soon becomes clear that he is the people’s only hope for peace.
The contest expires July 29, and extends only to residents within the U.S. Simply e-mail us at filmcombatsyndicate@gmail.com for your entry. That’s it! That’s all there’s to it. Good luck!
