The law in Japanese film

[stephanie deboer]

And speaking of gender and the law, is there an English titled version of Naruse's *Taki no Shiraito*/*White Threads of the Cascades* floating (pardon the pun) around out there?  The version I've seen has a benshi speaking over/against Japanese intertitles (obviously, its a silent film), but the narrative leads to a few interesting scenes of a woman, or rather women's issues, and court proceedings...
