Limited Edition version.

Directed by Seijun Suzuki, Underworld Beauty follows a recently released man who becomes entangled in a criminal situation involving hidden money and conflicting interests. The story develops through shifting alliances, deception and pursuit, set within an urban crime environment. The narrative combines movement, tension and stylized elements within a genre-driven framework.

Retrieving the diamonds he stashed before his arrest, thief Miyamoto hopes to help his old partner Mihara, crippled during the heist. Their former boss, crime lord Oyane, offers to mediate with a foreign buyer, but secretly wants the stones for himself. The deal goes awry when gunmen appear on the scene. Mihara swallows the diamonds but dies in the chase, leaving a valuable corpse in the police morgue. Miyamoto forms an uneasy alliance with Miharas wildcat sister Akiko to keep the gems away from gangsters, cops and even Akikos greedy boyfriend. This wildly inventive early noir sees Seijun Suzuki (Branded to Kill, Tattooed Life) infectiously playing with genre rules and gender stereotypes.
