Two Films by Yasujiro Ozu: The Only Son / There Was A Father

The Warped World of Koreyoshi Kurahara: Intimidation / The Warped Ones / I Hate But Love / Black Sun / Thirst For Love

That "Warped World" box looks pretty cool. I don't think I've ever seen anything from Kurahara before, but in reading the details they seem pretty interesting.

There's a ton of those Criterion Eclipse series I'd love to have. So far I've only bought "When Horror Came to Shochiku".

Looking forward to getting into it. Haven’t seen any Kurahara yet either, but they all sound interesting and I like a lot of other Japanese films from that era.

This is my fifth Eclipse set after Early Bergman, Late Ozu, Oshima and Kobayashi. The Bergman’s a little lacklustre, but otherwise I’ve been pretty happy with them. I’ve thought about the Shochiku set, but my next (funds pending

) will probably be the Nikkatsu Noir (which features another Kurahara and an early Suzuki) or the Czech New Wave.
