1.An Autumn Afternoon starring: Chishu Ryu, Shima Iwashita, Keiji Sada, Mariko Okada, Teruo Yoshida directed by: Yasujiro Ozu November 11, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.00
The last work from revered filmmaker Yasujiro Ozu is a surprising delight, at once a summation of the family dramas that dominated his postwar career and a celebration of his quiet artistry. It's a movie that doesn't call attention to itself and even goes as far as lifting entire sequences from his previous films. At the same time, this 1962 drama is not so much a re-telling of the same stories (co-written with longtime collaborator Kôgo Noda) as it is a re-evaluation of the same dramatic themes that inform the director's work since Late Spring, his 1949 classic to which this film bears the strongest resemblance. Ozu aficionados will find all his familiar, idiosyncratic touches here - the elliptical narrative, the observational view of the characters from the outside, the thoughtfully composed ... Read More

2.Samurai II - Duel at Ichijoji Temple starring: Toshirô Mifune, Mariko Okada, Koji Tsuruta, Kaoru Yachigusa, Michiyo Kogure directed by: Hiroshi Inagaki September 03, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.49
This second installment of the epic samurai trilogy starring Toshiro Mifune, has much more action than in the previous episode. And while one must view all of the episodes in order to get a sense of the film, and how director Hiroshi Inagaki is trying to develop the characters in the film, especially Miyamoto Musashi (Toshiro Mifune) this is still a very good film on its own merits. But the first and second films are only planting the seeds of this character development, which will fully emerge and develop in the final [and best in my opinion] episode of this great samurai trilogy. This second installment, "Samurai II: Duel at Ichijoji Temple," begins where the first episode left off. As the headstrong samurai Miyamoto Musashi (Toshiro Mifune) attempts to become a great samurai, we ... Read More

3.Samurai I - Musashi Miyamoto starring: Toshirô Mifune, Mariko Okada, Rentaro Mikuni, Kuroemon Onoe, Kaoru Yachigusa directed by: Hiroshi Inagaki September 03, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.38
"Samurai I," starring Toshiro Mifune as first Takezo, then Miyamoto Musashi, is an excellent film into the trilogy which will conclude with the final, and best episode, "Samurai III: Duel at Ganryu Island." In this first film, Takezo (Toshiro Mifune) as he is known in the begining, [but will later be named Miyamoto Musashi], is a brash young man. As a peasant, he decides to leave his village and enter the army, which is on its way to do battle. However, he becomes despondent when his side is defeated. As he returns to his village, he has become an outcast, and when arrested for treason, he is saved by a monk from death, who tells Takezo to study the samurai code. When looking back on the episode, I realize that director Inagaki did a very good job with his plot development, as we see a brash and abrasive ... Read More

6.A Taxing Woman starring: Nobuko Miyamoto, Tsutomu Yamazaki, Masahiko Tsugawa, Shinsuke Ashida, Mariko Okada directed by: Juzo Itami October 16, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.91
I must add my voice to the chorus of complaints about this product. I paid a premium price for this DVD, and received a bad product. The transfer is lousy, in fullscreen, and yes, the subtitles suck. I have to wonder if the Yakuza have mounted a campaign against Itami's work, permitting only poor copies to make their way to the West. Hell, it's so hard to find this man's movies in the U.S. I have to wonder if this is a pirate copy, elaborately packaged and sent out to deliberately frustrate Itami fans.
