Ai no Corrida

Yes, there were.  There was a section of seats against the right wall with 
the little 'reserved seat' doilies on them, and women were sitting there.  I 
was on the other side of the room though so I didn't get a good look at how 
many women were there or how large the section was.  The "women's only" 
seating availability for Corrida was announced in last week's Pia magazine 
movie schedule as well, I think.

I'd agree.  The audience did seem to be a little more fidgety than other 
Cine Amuse audiences I've been with though.  <:-/  (Maybe as a result?)

P.S.  Thank you for your comments, Markus.
