More DVD News from France

[Graham Steward]

Michael,
Don't forget Rashomon is already available in the UK with English subtitles 
(published by the Bfi along with Hidden Fortress, Seven Samurai and 
Yojimbo). Ozu or Mizoguchi films on the other hand, don't look likely to 
make DVD here for some time yet....maybe never ?
