A Japanese Tragedy ... with subtitles

[Nornes, Markus]

When it comes to prints of famous war films, it's always worth checking out Japan-America Film Wars. This is the English version of a Yamagata Film Festival catalog I edited with Fukushima Yukio. Not many people noticed this, but I supplied print sources for everything we showed. Look at the index, and gives initials for the source-addresses in the section just before the index. Like this:

http://books.google.com/books?id=CPxGjzivFTAC&pg=PP1&dq=Japan-America+Film+Wars&ei=Uj4YS7j3LqayNeHs8OwB&client=safari#v=onepage&q=7%2C%20160&f=false

According to this, you can find prints at Japan Foundation and the National Film Center. If it's at JF, then it's got subs (and if it's at NFC you'd likely need to have a FIAF connection to acquire the print-probably).

Now I'm embarrassed to discover that the "J" in this index entry is missing the print source! But it should mean Japan Foundation.

Dear all,

I am in the process of planning screenings for a class next
term. I was hoping to show Kamei Fumio's "A Japanese Tragedy,"
on DVD but was dismayed to discover recently that there
doesn't seem to be a subtitled copy out there.

Does anyone know if one exists, and if so where? It is a
rather daunting film to subtitle!

Please contact me off list if you have any ideas. Thanks in
advance for any help.
