The Criterion Collection has made me a happy man. I woke up this morning to an email from them with the news that they were releasing a boxed set of Yasujiro Ozu's last films. The only one missing is Floating Weeds, which is fine with me as I already own it. I think the Criterion Collection is starting to realize that their consumers aren't stupid. For a while now the cheapest way of buying Ozu films has been to import them directly from Japan. I'm happy I didn't buy the Japanese versions though, as the Criterion Collection tends to do amazing things with their transfers. I might as well buy the early Bergman boxed set while I'm at it.
