Region2 DVD Box Sets

[Kumiko Sato]

Thank you all very much for your kind help with the R2 DVD search. The 
Teshigawara retrospect sounds great. In the meantime, especially for those 
who can't easily go to or host film festivals, I summed up the information 
I got via KineJapan list about "sets" that come with English subs for the 
most part:

Teshigahara Hiroshi no sekai
includes:Otoshiana, Rengoku, Suna no onna, Tanin no kao, Moetsukita chizu, 
Summer Soldier, Hokusai, Ikebana, Inochi, Tokyo 1958, Jose Torres, Shiroi 
asa, Ugoku chokoku.

Matsumoto Toshio zen gekieiga (is this the one?)
includes: Bara no soretsu, Shura, Jurokusai no senso, Dogura magura

Shindo Kaneto Anthology 4 vols.

For individual DVDs, Michael recommends using amazon.co.jp's detailed 
search. The new Oshima Nagisa collection (release starting in March) will 
not have English subs according to Steven but the contents are: (quoted 
from Michael's)
the first box will contain Ai to kibo no machi, Seishun
zankoku monogatari (finally!) and Etsuraku. The second box will contain
Taiyo no hakaba, Hakuchu no torima, and Nihon shunkako. They're produced by
Shochiku, which presumably will release Nihon no yoru to kiri in box #3

Thank you very much again, and have a good day! -Kumi
