Film Movement Plus will have the digitally restored version of Cash Calls Hell from filmmaker Hideo Gosha, available November 29.

Here’s the film’s official synopsis:

Facing the final days of his prison sentence for vehicular manslaughter, Oida (Tatsuya Nakadai) dreads reentering society as a ruined man with no future prospects. Sensing his street smarts, Oida’s cellmate promises him a pile of loot if he tracks down and kills three men whose names are on a list. Reluctantly accepting the task, he finds himself embroiled in a web of stolen money, betrayal and other sordid vices. Torn between compassion and desperation, Oida discovers danger lurking around every corner as he navigates a treacherous path of cold-blooded fate. Legendary director Hideo Gosha (Samurai Wolf, Violent Streets, Onimasa) blends classic, gritty film noir tropes into a New Wave inflected cinematic fever dream of intrigue and paranoia in this “absolutely gripping and suspenseful movie, a masterpiece of genre filmmaking” (Japan on Film), now digitally restored in 2K from original broadcast elements.

Cash Calls Hell is directed by Hideo Gosha, who co-wrote the film with Yasuko Ono. It stars Tatsuya Nakadai, Mikijiro Hira, Ichirô Nakatani, Hisashi Igawa, Kunie Tanaka and Keneko Iwasaki. The film’s producers are Gin’ichi Kishimoto and Masayuki Sato.
