Kurosawa's No Regrets in English

Dear Colleagues,

Since you said "anywhere in the world," there is one--maybe 2, but if so the other is the original 1946 print--at the Library of Congress. All the information is below.

I would imagine you cd. get it via faculty InterLibrary Loan, or through a special collegial loan request. The fact that you are at a distance is probably an advantage, since if we wanted to borrow it here in DC they might tell us to go down to LC and see it there instead.

I hope you get it, or another--it's really a great film, in my opinion. I have the Japanese DVD from the Kurosawa collected film series, and have watched the film several times. I've never been able to share it with my students, though, due to the lack of subtitles.

If someone wd. put out a Region 1 DVD with English subtitles, as a result of your event, it would be very good....

Anyway, I hope LC will lend you its copy.

Best Regards,

Michael McCaskey
