yes, if you mean i prefer the family-oriented stuff to films by Suzuki and Fukusaku, which are kind of fun to watch drunk. i don't much like kiyoshi kurosawa or hitoshi matsumoto. i think gosha truly straddles the line - his splattery samurai films and even more violent yakuza stuff occasionally breaks through as incredibly humanist. "goyokin" and especially "tenchu" are heartbreaking at parts. there isn't enough great japanese stuff on here - early oshima and imamura. anyway, always held back by being able to see only what has been translated, a classicist, yeah.
