Gosh, Lubitsch AND Shimizu - my two great discoveries last year. Lots of
stuff about the latter director coming up on Midnight Eye very soon, and not
just related to the films screened at last year's FilmEx.<BR>It was a great
program by the way - my top films were ARIGATO-SAN, CHILDREN IN THE WIND and
CHILDREN OF THE BEEHIVE, but apart from the mawkish SHIINOMI GAKUEN, they
were all very strong. <BR><BR>Jasper
