Late Spring is just sooooo good. I can understand why younger directors rebeled against Ozu because he was very *tranquil* but still Ozu rules! :-)
We also saw Audition which wasn't perfect but still very good. Also about Japanese society.

I've been overdosing on the 3 DVD set of Toshio Matsumoto's Experimental Film Works 1961-1987. I can't believe I didn't know about this guy, utterly beautiful abstract film & video works all set to blazing period electronic scores -- expensive but worth it -- if you're only getting one, get Volume 2

I watched Mizoguchi's Sisters of the Gion last night... short, bleak and grim. I prefer his '30s visual palette to Ozu's or Naruse's.

Was Ichi the Killer that hard to follow? I didn't think so. The special effects in it were silly/bad but it was fairly easy to follow if you don't let the ambiguity about Ichi's past get your panties in a bunch.

A Taxing Woman 2xDVD editionTanpopo 2xDVD editionEureka DVDSeishun Dendekedekedeke (The Rocking Horsemen?) DVD
The Itami special editions came out in celebration of his death (!?!), the Eureka DVD is an aspect remaster from the crummy version from a few years ago, and the last one is one of my favorite movies that hasn't been exported (no subtitles, eek)... starring an 18y/o Tadanobu Asano in his first studio role for all you Miike nuts.
I'm open to any drama/comedy/thriller (non-monster, non-horror, non-samurai, non-yakuza, non-anime please!) recommendations.

I just wanted to point out the simply wonderful fact that the blob of rape-fetishist-peeping-top semen in which the title credit for "Ichi the Killer" appears is, in fact, REAL HUMAN SEMEN.
And Tsukamoto "donated" it.
Just, you know, FYI...

They're all so good, in different ways. _Ikiru_'s dying bueauracrat, withhis last redemptive quest to build a playground for inner city children,really exemplifies the idea that any ordinary person can find it in themselves to struggle against injustice, and win a personal victory against the night.
Or how about _Seven Samurai_'s vagabond warriors, lovable, stern, mostlyover-the-hill men who find it in themselves to fight for a cause not their own, against suicidal odds. In the hands of another director, it would justbe another action-adventure. But leave it to Kurosawa to keenly zoom inon the human element, the internal struggles that will strike a chord withanyone that has a pulse, in any country, any era. Witness the youngest samurai, determined to make a name for himself, fearless in battle;yet totally uncertain and confused when faced with the lust of a villagewaif.
Kurosawa Movies I Haven't Seen:Madadayo (1993)DodesukadenRed BeardHigh And LowScandalThe Quiet DuelI Live In Fear (also Record Of A Living Being)Drunken Angel
which one of these should I watch first?

I really enjoyed Miike's The Bird People in China. I'm not really even sure if it's a good movie or if the concepts just resonate w/ me. Lots of great suggestions on this thread. Will bookmark!
