He is promised a safe return after one year in exile, but this vow is broken and he becomes a fugitive chased by his own clansmen. Disillusioned by the bushido code of honour, he realises there are only two ways out: vengeance or death.\n\nFrom director Tokuzo Tanaka (The Snow Woman), a former assistant to Akira Kurosawa, this cruel jidaigeki stands alongside such notable works of the genre as Harakiri and Sword of Doom with its classic mix of honour codes and samurai action. Beautifully filmed in black and white 'scope with thrilling set pieces, The Betrayal features one of the most breathtaking finales in all of samurai cinema.\n\nBonus Materials\nHigh-Definition digital transfer by Kadokawa Uncompressed mono PCM audio Select-scene audio commentary by Japanese film historian Tom Mes (2025) Visual essay by film critic Philip Kemp, comparing The Betrayal with the original Orochi the Serpent (2025) Visual essay on director Tokuzo Tanaka by Tom Mes (2025) New English subtitle translation Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Time Tomorrow Limited edition booklet featuring new writing by Alain Silver Limited edition of 3000 copies, presented in full-height Scanavo packaging with removable OBI strip leaving packaging free of certificates and markings\n\nCast \u0026amp; Crew\nActors: Raizo Ichikawa Kaoru Yachigusa Shiho Fujimura Ichirô Nakatani Shinobu Araki Yûtarô Ban Saburô Date Takuya Fujioka Ryûtarô Gomi Sei Hiraizumi Yukio Horikita Jun Katsumura Yoshi Katô Gen Kimura\nDirector: Tokuzo Tanaka\n\nSpecial Features\n\nLimited edition booklet featuring new writing by Alain Silver, Limited edition of 3000 copies, presented in full-height Scanavo packaging with removable OBI strip leaving packaging free of certificates and markings, Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Time Tomorrow, Visual essay on director Tokuzo Tanaka by Tom Mes (2025), New English subtitle translation, Select-scene audio commentary by Japanese film historian Tom Mes (2025), Visual essay by film critic Philip Kemp, comparing The Betrayal with the original Orochi the Serpent (2025), Uncompressed mono PCM audio, High-Definition digital transfer by Kadokawa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 760137189800\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0760137189800\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e blu_ray\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47226829472003,"sku":"49-PEBJ-V922","price":42.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/files\/81vCNyjC_fL.jpg?v=1758674064","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/en\/products\/the-betrayal-blu-ray","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
