Thanks to Logboy for this news that Image Entertainment will be releasing Mizoguchi Kenji’s “Sansho the Bailiff” (Sansho Dayu) on DVD on May 22nd on their Criterion imprint. If it’s anything like their definitive release of “Ugetsu” last year (highly recommended), this’ll be another essential purchase. See the film’s Wikipedia entry for more info.
Update: Criterion will also be releasing Imamura Shohei’s powerful “Vengeance is Mine” (Fukushu suru wa Ware ni ari) on May 22nd. They’ll have a hard time topping Eureka’s excellent R2 Masters of Cinema release. CriterionDVD.com have details on “Vengeance is Mine” here, and “Sansho the Bailiff” here.
