Hong Kong cinema is in a state of transition. Johnnie To (now in his late 60s) has not made a film as purely visceral as Exiled since. Furthermore, physical media is dying. Koch Media’s license for the film may expire, making this 1080p BluRay a future rarity.
It’s a "Spaghetti Western" in suits. Think Sergio Leone meets John Woo, but with Johnnie To’s signature clinical attention to detail. The Standout:
Koch Media — but it’s Region B locked.
Exiled is a film driven by visuals, making the jump to 1080p BluRay essential. The Koch Media release presents the film with a clarity that highlights the dusty, golden-hour aesthetic To is famous for.
