Yeah, I totally fall into number 2.  There are images in that show that are really clear in my mind 20+ years later because they were jarringly bizarre.  I have been watching for this to come out for a while.

The translation didn't cause any problems for me.  The print I saw was done by Janus, who does all the Criterion collection stuff, and they normally pride themselves on doing a good job on their translations. I don't recall this one being a problem.

A local theater is doing a Mizoguchi month, so we went to see Sansho the Baliff this weekend, too.  Everything you said up there— dark, dark, dark.  Seeing it on a Friday night took us til Saturday afternoon to get over it. You didn't even get into the forehead branding!

I actually enjoyed the box set of his Christmas music but I am a sucker for most takes on Christmas music.  Lost that album in a hard drive crash and have to track it down before this holiday season.  His original songs were lame, though.
