<div>Dear All,</div> <div> </div> <div>Some time ago, it was announced that Ryuhei Kitamura was going to direct a film called Bandage from a Shunji Iwai script. But it doesn't seem to have been released, and Kitamura is now in America. Did this film ever get finished/released? My sources give a lot of advance publicity, but has the film actually been shown anywhere? And will it?</div> <div> </div> <div>ALEX<BR></div> <div> </div> <div><BR><BR><B><I>makoto <makoto@fastwebnet.it></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">Dear Dean,<BR><BR>?<BR><BR>I didnft know the valuable Firecracker site.
