ozu's 100th

[Stephen Cremin]

I guess the Venice competition held back all screenings outside Japan.  
It gets its North American premiere at the Toronto International Film 
Festival that is now in full swing.  Perhaps it's also in the New York 
Film Festival.  Film is completely in Japanese I believe.  It has been 
bought for HK distribution - presumably in a package deal with QUILL - 
and that's your best bet for a subtitled DVD in the near future.
