New Video Titles released in US

Sat Apr 25 13:52:34 EDT 1998

I was just at the video store near me, and was shocked to find two new
releases:

Ichikawa Kon's Kagi (Odd Obsession, 1959, based on the Tanizaki novel)
Suzuki Seijun's Tokyo nagaremono (Tokyo Drifter, 1966)

These are released by Janus Films, a division(?) of Home Vision Cinema.
However, they are not yet even listed on the company's web site
(http://www.homevisioncinema.com).  Does anyone know if there are more that
maybe my video store opted not to obtain?  I'm trying to obtain funding for
a possible series of New Wave / 1960s films at the PFA in Berkeley this
summer, and I don't want suggest films that have been already been released
on video.

If I don't hear back from anyone by Monday, I'm going to call their 800
number, and I'll keep everyone posted on what I find.
