oh, you can disregard my previous comment. apparently, Remains to Be Seen 'will be issued on the forthcoming Treasures 6: Avant-Garde Film DVD Box Set issued by National Film Preservation Foundation sometime in 2014'. as for Seasons..., there's still a faint hope of a 3rd Criterion box; if they could only include Anticipation of the Night, Flesh of Morning, A Child's Garden & the Serious Sea, Elementary Phrases + the rest of Scenes From Under Childhood as well, I would be very, very happy indeed!

where are you seeing these Noren/Gottheim films? i adore Fog Line, but never thought to check if he had made others.

Le pistolet en plastique de Malkovich vaut 2,5* à lui tout seul, non ?

Like the look of those features/record label combination - will give it a listen for sure. Think I've seen his name on a couple of Screw tapes

Sounds good! Gonna see that one soon. Every Uchida i have seen have been great so far (not too many though).

And Japan this time! Something i need to do also, but i'm still kinda stuck inside my head with travelling. But i will do it someday. I have to!

Where are you nowadays? France, Iceland, somewhere else even?

Hi! How is it going? Seems you are now a bit more online than past months, been travelling much i guess? Japan?

Hi, thanks for the add. Your ratings and lists are terrific! I'm particularly eager to dig into your 'Early Japanese Films' list!

I’m a former film student, completed undergrad last year and now currently considering grad school. The expression on my profile was intended more as a figure of speech though, signaling toward how often I find new discoveries in revisiting films and by extension, new ways of thinking about the medium. How about yourself? Do you study/work in a film-related field?
