gurdymonkeyThe subtitles are a bit idiosyncratic, but I like the animation.
In other news, I'm halfway through reading "Something Like an Autobiography," by Akira Kurosawa. Although it stops in 1950 because he didn't feel it was right to dish dirt about film makers and actors who were still alive, it does talk about his early career as an assistant director at the fledgling company that would become Toho Film The page and a half footnote about movies he saw as a kid was also pretty amazing. Prewar Tokyo got everything from Charlie Chaplin to Luis Bunuel, apparently.
He describes editing a sequence in Kajiro Yamamoto's "Uma" (Horses), which makes me want to see it, however, I can't find any evidence it's been released on video. Not surprising. Criterion has only just started releasing the works of Kenji Mizoguchi on DVD in the past couple of years.
