> Matthew and everyone -
> 
> We just started the summer film series at the U of M Center for Japanese 
> Studies and the theme for this season is--you guessed it--Yamada Yoji. 
> Apologies for not mentioning this here sooner. Here's the web page with
> all 
> the details:

> 
> All of the films we're showing are 35mm subtitled prints. The Twilight 
> Samurai print is coming from Empire pictures in NY, but the rest are 
> straight from Shochiku in Japan. We're showing the first Tora-san this 
> Friday and the first Gakko in August, so I know those two exist. I think 
> Shochiku has a subtitled print of A Distant Cry from Spring as well, but
> I'm 
> not sure.
> 
> As others have mentioned, a dozen or so of Yamada's movies are available
> on 
> DVD from Panorama Entertainment (Hong Kong), but I haven't been able to
> find 
> any of his films on video in the U.S.
> 
> Let me know if you need more information.
