Introduction

[atif iqbal]

Hi !

My name is Atif Iqbal and I am a banker in Pakistan. Given my interest 
in Japanese (and World) Cinema I was introduced to the list by a few 
friends of my brother in the US. So, for the past few months I have been 
following with a lot of interest the e-mail traffic on the  list, given 
the scholarly content (with particular reference to new movies about 
which I have little info). 

This is so as there are few opportunities to catch Japanese films in 
Pakistan (barring occasional viewings by Cultural centres), and so there 
is a long way for me to go in developing a better understanding of 
Japanese Cinema. Certainly being able to catch up on new releases is 
close to impossible unless I am travelling abroad. I have to rely on 
getting videos of movies from abroad to be able to keep up with my 
passion.

Presently, my viewings have been restricted more to Classical Japanese 
Cinema of Ozu, Kurosawa, Naruse, Mizoguchi etc., and I would like to be 
able to continue doing so. Would thus appreciate if somebody could 
identify a source from which I can get videos of the following Kurosawa 
movies (with sub-titles), I have searched a number of catalogs and video 
houses, but to no avail and would sincerely welcome any input. The 
movies are as follows :

1. The Most Beautiful (Ichiban Utsukushiku)
2. Sanshiro Sugata - Part Two (Zoku Sugata Sanshiro)
3. Those who make tomorrow (Asu o Tsukuru Hitobito)
4. One Wonderful Sunday (Subarashiki Nichiyobi)
5. High and Low  (Tengoku to Jigoku)
6. Madadayo

Clearly, I am a big Kurosawa fan (have all his other movies), and am one 
of those who believe that watching "Ikiru" made a real difference to my 
life.

Would appreciate some help from any one on the above i.e. phone 
number/name/e-mail/address/web site : any detail for ordering the above 
movies.

Kind Regards,
Atif
