Mizoguchi's "Life of Oharu" on Criterion DVD

[Saionji Shonagon]

I saw this heartbreaking film several years ago at a Mizoguchi retrospective and have periodically been petitioning Criterion to release it on DVD. They finally did this summer. More information on the release here. Can't wait to get my copy.
