I don't know about the buying policies of Trinity College, but I do know the
book is available on Amazon

PS: By my count five critics and two directors from Japan participated in
the Sight and Sound poll. Given the respective profiles of the two groups in
the world at large you'd think it would be the other way around -- not that
I'm complaining.

The votes were all over the lot, with only 22 of the 145 critics selecting
Tokyo Monogatari -- three from Japan, including your truly. As they say at
election time, every vote counts, folks. Seventeen critics voted for number
ten, Singin' In the Rain; fifteen for Shichinin no Samurai. By such narrow
margins is immortality decided!
