In an early announcement to retailers, Criterion is working on 'Three Outlaw Samurai' for Blu-ray on February 14.

This first film by the legendary Hideo Gosha is among the most canonized chambara (sword-fighting) films.

The Blu-ray will feature a 1080p transfer, uncompressed mono soundtrack, and supplements will a booklet featuring an essay by film critic Bilge Ebiri.
