notes<BR><BR><BR>> Am I correct in assuming the symposium at Maison
Franco-Japonaise is open<BR>to<BR>> the public? On the website the
English schedule says entrance is free and<BR>> the Japanese schedule says
entrance is free but limited to the first 150<BR>> guests.<BR>><BR>>
Last night I got in a Jack Nicholson mood and went searching for "The<BR>>
Terror" at Tsutaya in Shibuya, but I couldn't find it. To my
surprise<BR>they<BR>> didn't even have a Jack Nicholson row in the "actors"
section. Later I<BR>went<BR>> looking at the Shinjuku branch.
They had a section for him and they even<BR>> had the tape I was looking
for. While I was searching at the Shinjuku<BR>store<BR>> I stumbled
through the cult corner and was surprised to see that they also<BR>> had
four copies of Schrader's Mishima, which is banned in Japan as Aaron<BR>>
Gerow mentioned in a recent post. All four copies were the
American<BR>version<BR>> of the video, and there was a little sticker on
the side of the box that<BR>> said, "If you want to rent this video please
bring the case up to the<BR>front<BR>> counter." The rest of the
videos at Tsutaya are left in the cases, and<BR>you<BR>> just take the tape
itself up to the cashier for checkout, so I guess<BR>> somebody's worried
about something happening to the Mishima videos. I<BR>don't<BR>> know
much about the films Mishima the person starred in, but you can still<BR>>
easily find the video for Karakkaze Yaro in Tokyo rental shops -- I
rented<BR>> it about 2 months ago -- and it will even be screened in an
all-night<BR>> showing on March 30th as part of a (another) Masumura
Yasuzo<BR>retrospective,<BR>> at Cine Saison Shibuya. Actually I've
been searching for a video of<BR>Yukoku<BR>> for years, and now I have an
idea of why I haven't had any luck.<BR>><BR>> Before renting videos I
had a little time to kill in Shinjuku yesterday<BR>> afternoon, so I sat
down for some coffee and thumbed through the movie<BR>> section of this
week's Pia magazine. In the "special screenings" page<BR>there<BR>>
was a listing for an all night pink eiga movie festival to be held
that<BR>> night featuring films from the four 'tenou' (not sure how to
translate<BR>that)<BR>> of the genre, Zeze Takahisa, Sato Toshiki, et
al. I wanted to go because<BR>> they were going to show Zeze's
"Haneda ni ittemiro..." and a few other<BR>films<BR>> I was sure I wouldn't
be able to track down on video. There was even a<BR>> panel
discussion scheduled featuring all four directors themselves and
a<BR>few<BR>> other guests. HOWEVER, it turns out that this was
another one of those<BR>> sneaky "women only" pink movie festivals so I
didn' t even have a chance<BR>of<BR>> getting in. "Minors and men
prohibited" says the ad. So aside from the<BR>> fact that most of the
guests were men (all of the directors were), last<BR>> night's showing was
separate but equal. After coffee I went to Tsutaya<BR>and<BR>>
discovered that not all was lost; I looked in the new DVD section and<BR>>
discovered that all four of the films scheduled to be shown at
last<BR>night's<BR>> all-nigher have recently been released in Japan.
Haneda..., Don't Let it<BR>> Bring You Down, Tanjun na hanashi and Himitsu
no hanazono are all now for<BR>> sale at 3800 yen. If I find any more
information about them I'll post it<BR>> here.<BR>><BR>> Michael
