It seems that December has been a busy season for Kurosawa releases. There’s also a series of French releases of Kurosawa’s films that came out in December (about which I found out a few days ago). Thanks again for all the info, Master Thief.

I’ll try to collect all the release new together and write a news item on that, but it won’t be today as I’m somewhat uncomfortably in the middle of things.

As well as still trying to recover from the shock of Heath Ledger passing away.

I just noticed that Eastern Eye has released a new box set as well which includes:

RASHOMON
THRONE OF BLOOD
RED BEARD

as well as the Kurosawa written THE FENCING MASTER (Tateshi Danpei)

It doesn’t look like you can buy THE FENCING MASTER separately so you would have to pay Aus$79.95 for the box.
