Kurosawa's No Regrets in English

[David N. Averbach]

You may want to try www.yesasia.com.  They have the DVD in stock.  Another
good place is www.pokerindustries.com, but their website says it's out of
print and they are not accepting any orders. They also have "Record of a
Living Being" and "The Bad Sleep Well."  These DVDs are from Hong Kong, but
they are Region 1.  The subtitles aren't great, but it's better than
nothing.
