With a who's-who cast of Japanese stars including Tadanobu Asano (ICHI THE KILLER), Rinko Kikuchi (PACIFIC RIM), and even Hideaki Anno (Creator of NEON GENESIS EVANGELION), FUNKY FOREST gathers some of the leading figures of Japan's millennial new wave of outrageously original pop cinema, and then sets them loose to confuse, amuse, repulse, and freak you the f#%k out.• New HD Transfer From Original Elements (150 mins)• New Audio Commentary with Directors—Katsuhito Ishii, Hajime Ishimine and Shunichiro Miki• New Director’s Cut Scenes (22 mins)• The Making of Funky Forest - “Into the World of the Unfathomable Forest” (70 mins)• Katsuishi’s Dance (A Choreography Lesson) (7 mins)• The Transfer Student is Here! (5 mins)The Warped Forest (2011) --WARPED FOREST has remained mostly unseen since its 2011 festival circuit debut, but thankfully, we've pulled it out from limbo. Director Shunichiro Miki dives into the realm of the absurd alone this go-around, but he brings many familiar faces from FUNKY FOREST including Kanji Tsuda (GUILTY OF ROMANCE) and Rinko Kikuchi (PACIFIC RIM) as well as some new faces--Fumi Nikaido (WHY DON'T YOU PLAY IN HELL?)Operating as a pseudo-sequel to FUNKY, WARPED is filled with the same bizarre aura that we've come to love--including naked women trees that grow pornographic fruit, furry nipple sucking animals and kaiju-sized humans. Fantasia Festival labeled it an essential work in the millennial new wave of radical, hallucinogenic Japanese comedies that blends deadpan humor, delirious dream logic and creeping paranoia into the strangest of cinematic brews!• New HD Transfer From Original HDCAM Tapes (82 mins)• Audio Commentary with Director, Shunichiro Miki• Introduction by Director, Shunichiro Miki• The Making of Warped Forest - “Into the World of the Limitless Forest” (12 mins)• Interview with Director, Shunichiro Miki (23 mins)• The Wonderful Dwellers of Funky Forest (25 mins)• Original Storyboards of Warped Forest• Trailer (1 min)
