Yes, Bad Sleep Well is really something else. Mifune was spectacular. The opening is a bit slow, but after the dinner party it's something.
Also, I really like Ozu. If you have the box I'm refering to, watch Late Spring as I think you'd like it best of what I've seen of his. A very anti-american-influence subtext to it. I know that Ozu's a bit boring, but I really like his family portraits, so I enjoy everything of his I've seen so far. For the price of the box, even if I only like two films it's still worth the value.
The Kurosawa box comes out in a month or so I guess. All the films in it haven't been released yet on DVD as far as I know. It's titled Postwar Kurosawa and includes five films. Also Drunken Angel comes out soon from Criterion. I was pretty much all caught up on Kurosawa until next month.
