MAKIOKA SISTERS (a war-time period drama - slow but moving)

I didn't really get on with Suzuki's two films BRANDED TO KILL and TOKYO DRIFTER, although they're both held in high regard among western critics
Big fan of Japanese cinema

Hara Kiri
Yojimbo/Sanjuro
High and low

Are all must haves


Hopefully the release Throne of Blood, Sword of Doom on BD
