Also Helen, Johnny To's "Throw Down" was dedicated to Akira Kurosawa. >_0 I own half of these films through Criterion and I want the Sugata Sanshiro film but they don’t exist outside of this gigantic boxset.

It's a wonderfully readable account of their careers and the making of the films. I'm working my way through it slowly and trying to watch each film in chronological order. The release of several of the early films will throw me out of order now, but that's a problem I'm delighted to have.
