English Subtitled Rampo Noir (aka Rampo Jigoku) Trailer!

For those who have not been paying attention Rampo Jigoku is a new adaptation of four short stories by Japanese writer Edogawa Rampo. Starring Tadanobu Asano (who also stars in bloody well every important Japanese film of the past decade ... I exaggerate, but not by much) and Ryuhei Matsuda (Nine Souls, Blue Spring) the film has generated a huge amount of buzz and it's easy to see why from the visuals ... beautiful, whimsical, disturbing stuff ...

And now thanks to the good people at Horizon - the film's international sales agent - we can read as we ogle and have a fighting chance of understanding what's going on here. Yep, it's subtitled and downloadable and absolutely beautiful.

Check this earlier post for full synopses of the film's four stories.
