Original, fully-licensed VCD release of the 1993 Japanese crime / drama short film / TV movie, FRIED DRAGON FISH, which starred Miyoko Yoshimoto, Tadanobu Asano, and Hiroshi Ohguchi. The film was directed by Shunji Iwai. This VCD is from the official Hong Kong release of the film ... produced by Panorama Distribution. VCDs are Video Compact Disc -- an alternate video format to DVD -- which is widely used in a number of Asian countries. The discs used are produced on CDs, rather than DVDs, so far less information can be held on a single disc. This results in two main differences between VCDs and DVDs. First, VCDs are usually issued in two discs per film, rather than a single disc for a DVD. Second, since CDs hold far less info than DVDs, the video quality for VCDs is noticeably lower than for DVDs. The typical VCD has video quality somewhat better than a factory issued VHS tapes, but below the clarity in DVDs. VCDs are usually region-free, and they can be played on most standard DVD players -- but you will have to check the compatibility for your player. This is the official licensed release of the film -- it is NOT a bootleg or unlicensed copy. This item comes complete with discs, plastic case, plus the original cardboard slipcover.
