lang=JA>宗方姉妹</SPAN>'The Munekata Sisters' this week at the NFT. There it
was billed as 'Munekata shimai', following Bordwell and Richie. But IMDb
and, more significantly, Alex Jacoby goes for '<SPAN>kyōdai </SPAN>' (after
consulting this list ?). It's not hard to see the divergence when even my
Spahn and Hadamitzky goes unambiguously for shimai (my Kenkushya has also
'<SPAN>kyōdai). I take it that it's purely a question of
usage?</SPAN></FONT></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
