Farewell to Southern Tosa

About This Movie

Farewell to Southern Tosa is a 1959 action film from Nikkatsu Corporation. It features a story about an ex-con who struggles to abandon his old ways. This film showcases a blend of action and drama from a notable era in Japanese cinema.

Finding Farewell to Southern Tosa is becoming increasingly difficult, as it had a limited release and has not been widely distributed on modern formats. VHS copies occasionally surface at collector shows, but they’re often worn, given the age and less-than-stellar preservation practices of the time. DVD or Blu-ray editions are rare, typically appearing in niche collections. This film garners interest primarily for its exploration of complex themes and its unique atmospheric qualities, appealing to those who appreciate the less commercialized action narratives from that era.
