Dodes'ka-den (1970) is a Japanese drama film directed by Akira Kurosawa, featuring Yoshitaka Zushi, Kin Sugai and Toshiyuki Tonomura. The film presents interconnected stories of residents in a Tokyo slum, highlighting their struggles and dreams amidst challenging circumstances. Kurosawa's first color film, it received the Special Prize of the Jury at the 1971 Venice International Film Festival and was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 1972 Academy Awards. Despite critical acclaim, it faced commercial challenges, impacting Kurosawa personally. The film's title, "Dodes'ka-den," mimics the onomatopoeia for a trolley's sound, reflecting the imaginative world of one of its characters.

Every VHS tape we sell is individually inspected, cleaned and rewound before being added to our inventory. We carefully check for mold and evaluate each tape for overall condition and presentation.
Original slipcovers are inspected to ensure they remain structurally sound and display well. Vintage rental stickers, price tags and other signs of a tape's history may still be present and are considered part of the authentic VHS experience. For Disney clamshell releases, cases will either be fully intact or replaced with a brand-new clamshell when necessary.
We're picky about condition, cleanliness and collectibility, and only offer tapes we'd be happy to add to our own shelves. While vintage media may show some age-related wear, we do our best to ensure every VHS tape arrives clean, complete and ready for movie night.
