It's been a while actually--basically since I saw *Possession* in Chicago in May. I've been thinking about watching *My Nights* again soon, as I've only seen it once, and have forgotten more of it than I care to admit...
Re: Sogo Ishii. I haven't yet, though he's in my watchlist. Any suggestions on where I should start?
Yeah I was even thinking of buying that region 2 Third Part of the Night cause I've only seen it once. Check that Diabel on my profile quality similar to the print with eng subs but you prob. have the dvd.. * Dude you'd like Sogo Ishii My favorite is August in the Water and thats where I started Master of Shiatsu is a good start or Shuffle.. If your on asia torrents you can find them or... This guy has got the goods pretty much every great Japanese director you'l ever think about exploring..
Thanks for the recs (and the link). My memory of the Third Part Second Run DVD is that it's solid enough a/v-wise; not in the same realm as the magic they work with the MV titles, but head and shoulders above crappy releases like the Facets disc of Globe.
The latest chatter seems to show up here: http://www.criterionforum.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=8024&sid=741066f9c9cd0032342a9f6b64df1bf2&start=375 ... there's mention of the *possibility* of a Blu-ray toward the bottom of the page.
