Terracotta Asian film store

From classic kung fu to Japanese horror, from Jackie Chan’s Police Story to the Oscar winning Parasite, we have the range of East Asian films covered.
All the boutique film distribution labels are stocked on our store, like 88films, Arrow Video, Eureka Entertainment, Third Window Films, BFI, Criterion Collection (and more) in one place for one convenient shop.
We ship worldwide in bubble wrapped well packaged boxes with high levels of customer service. Built by fans, for fans, we understand how it is to be a customer wanting product arriving in pristine condition. We often get praise for our high-quality customer service.
This is THE website for physical media collectors looking to add more Asian films to your blu ray and DVD shelf. Or you might be a movie buff, looking to expand your film viewing into something new. Your entry point might be Infernal Affairs (remade by Martin Scorsese as THE DEPARTED) or the Oscar winning EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE or the Cannes Film Festival winner, Oldboy (directed by Park Chan Wook), a film that often tops must ‘see Asian films’ and ‘best South Korean movies’ type lists. From there you can delve into the different layers and branches of Asian cinema, across the many countries of East Asia each with it’s own different cultures and cinematic language.
Pre-order blu ray new releases from all the major labels so that you get your limited edition collector boxsets and slipcase editions before or on the week of release, guarantee your copy before it sells out.
Read news articles on our blog page to keep up to date with the latest film releases, as well as a deep dive into some aspects of Asian cinema such as Hong Kong Category III movies, or how the Hong Kong films have changed pre and post 1997, the year of the handover of Hong Kong back to China.
We also regularly compile lists of the best films or Top 10’s in different genres or focus. This will help guide both new and experienced shoppers alike as to what are the must-buy blu ray films to own and keep.
We have a range of budgets to suit everyone. Stocking high end collector boxsets from Shaw Brothers studio (the classic golden age of Hong Kong kung fu films), Japanese director blu ray boxsets like the Kinji Fukusaku boxset, the Battles without Honor and Humanity boxset and the weird and wonderful Yokai Monsters boxset. We have the range of Japanese cinema covered, from internationally renowned directors who regularly top best directors lists (Akira Kurosawa, Yasujiro Ozu, Nobuhiko Obayashi) to recent cult-film fan favourites (Takeshi ‘Beat’ Kitano, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Sion Sono, Shinya Tsukamoto, Toshiaki Toyoda and much more).
And at the other end of the scale, we regularly run sales or special promotions on individual standard edition blu ray films and once a year we host a Lunar New Year site-wide sale.
On the Terracotta Asian cinema streaming site, you can discover lesser known gems that have either not had a release in the UK or have just bypassed the system un-noticed but are still must-see, strong films that we have hand-picked.
Asian movies are known for their output from the major film producing countries of Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea; recently the emergence of South East Asia countries and Central Asian countries as cinema producing cultures have brought fresh stories to the big screen. We hope to bring more of such output to you via our Asian film streaming service.
