Per your Hollywood Reporter link, *Labyrinth of Cinema *was featured in a<br>
special presentation at the TIFF last year, so some KJers should have seen<br>
it:<br>
<br>
*Labyrinth of Cinema* had been scheduled to be released in Japan on the day<br>
of his death. The date has been pushed back because of the coronavirus<br>
pandemic, which has closed theaters.<br>
<br>
"Director Obayashi fought his sickness to the day of the scheduled release<br>
of his film. Rest in peace, director Obayashi, you who loved films so much<br>
you kept on making them," the announcement said.<br>
<br>
The film was showcased at the Tokyo International Film Festival last year,<br>
which honored him as a "cinematic magician" and screened several of his<br>
other works.<br>
<br>

an interesting question Michael. I'll ask the editor.<br>
They're easy to communicate with, but I'm finding the shipping very slow. I<br>
hope it's just these odd times.<br>
June 6 is Kore-eda's birthday.<br>
<br>
Stay well.<br>
