obtaining boxed sets of Ozu

[Gerard Kraus]

Here's some details on these UK Boxsets:

The Ozu Collection 1: Tokyo Story / Late Srping / Early Summer
The Ozu Collection 2: Record of A Tenement Gentleman / Flavour of Green
Tea over Rice
The Ozu Collection 3: Tokyo Twilight / Equinox Flower / Good Morning
The Ozu Collection 4: Late Autumn / An Autumn Afternoon

All come with some sort of commentary tracks and are Region coded 0
