...pretty respectable result I'd say, although I was surprised to see a total 
absence of Godard (and yes I know he's French..) Incidentally, I know Mark 
Schilling has a book on contemporary Japanese cinema, but it seems to be 
remarkably diificult to trace - I suppose I could try Amazon etc, but was 
referring moreso to consulting libraries, even copyright libraries, since 
the one close to me (Trinity College Dublin) ostensibly gets a copy of every 
book published yet they didn't have it either! Any ideas, anyone? Moose
