## At a glance

- Covers Kon Ichikawa’s film of the 1964 Summer Games in Tokyo.
- The listing claims a new 4K digital restoration. The edition itself is DVD, NTSC, not a 4K disc.
- Extras listed include Peter Cowie’s audio commentary and introduction, eighty minutes of additional Tokyo Games material, archival interviews, a documentary about Ichikawa, trailers and an essay.

## Pros

- Two discs include the feature and a broad selection of listed supplements.
- The additional Games footage and filmmaker-focused material may interest sports-history and documentary-film viewers.
- A new English subtitle translation is listed.

## Cons

- This is a DVD, so the claimed 4K restoration does not make it a 4K UHD disc.

## Customer feedback

Aggregate ratings lean positive, with most ratings in the five-star category, but a smaller share falls in lower categories. Without written review details, the ratings do not show what viewers praised or criticized. They offer limited guidance on the film or DVD presentation, so buyers should weigh the listed Japanese-language format and DVD resolution against their preferences.
