Criterion Collection: Eclipse Series 38 - Masaki [DVD] [1962] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]

Excellent in all regards

The movies in this set, use the American occupation of Japan and the influences of American culture, as a backdrop or setting. I enjoyed them very much and recommend this set for serious film fans.

Four gritty and brilliant films from one of Japan's least appreciated film directors. A great collection which includes "I Will Buy You"...maybe the best film about baseball made in the 1950s. Where most US films about the sport at that time were glossy comedies or tear jerkers, this film explores the dark side of outside influences on the sport.

Kobayashi is a giant of film-making, NOT just Japanese films. His excellently scripted and acted films show a rare concern for the human condition which transcends time and place. Excellent films.

This set is a must have.Great movies.great package.I love each of them.

An excellent box from one of the best japanese directors. Highly recommended, a real gem for every collector interested in japanese film or any good movies.
