looking for two videos

[Michael Kerpan]

As far as I know, the Imamura has only been released on DVD in unsubbed form.  There was a rather mediocre subbed video of the Kumai film -- which might have been transferred to DVD by some alternative provider or another. (BW -- Tanaka is impressive in this -- but I thought the film as a whole was pretty poor).
