Apparently it's that some scenes are played out of order resulting in continuity errors and other scenes have the wrong soundtrack over them.

It's the same with Australian movies. There's more releases of stuff on UK labels, with commentary and extras by Aus film critics, than there are local releases.

Japan rejected Kurosawa and forced him to go elsewhere to fund his films so they can pay a few extra bucks to import the blu rays.

Yeah, when I lived in Japan, I spoke to a bunch of film people there and asked them about their opinions of Kurosawa and it was universally negative. "Too Western" was the note.

Coaaab posted:Yeah, I've heard of that before, Godard most famously. Who did they prefer? I think at the time they respected Mizoguchi and Ozu more, although I think those two were getting criticism for being too old fashioned so maybe Japanese audiences were just really hard to please. It's interesting to hear that people in Japan would still feel that way about Kurosawa though, I would've thought they'd have seen the light by now.

The names I heard thrown around the most when I was there was Mizoguchi, Ozu, and Kinoshita for the old guard. You'll pretty much never hear anyone talk about Japanese New Wave unless they're a diehard cinemaphile but even then, you probably won't hear Ōshima's name thrown around because of his politics and sympathetic views towards Koreans. I think one of the big problems is how cinema and canon are taught in Japan. I dated someone who was studying to be an editor at the Japan Institute of Moving Images for a little bit and they're pretty much taught a very small and specific canon of films considered "right" and "correct" (and all Japanese). I once tried to talk to her about Walter Murch and the editing in the Godfather I and II and she wasn't having any of that. VoodooXT fucked around with this message at 19:14 on Feb 11, 2022 |

Thankfully, US/UK folks and distributors are slowly starting to catch on to Obayashi's post-House films. I haven't seen I Are You, You Am Me yet, but the other four on that list are all great even though I might pick some others over them.

FancyMike posted:https://mubi.com/lists/japanese-movies-all-time-best-200-kinejun-readers Doesn't seem to reflect the supposed anti Kurosawa feeling at all. Interesting that even in Japan they won't give credit to any other animation directors beyond Miyazaki. A similar list by English language speakers would probably be pulpier, with more animation and more directorial variety, but I bet it would be pretty similar.

I'd take it with a grain of salt since Kinema Junpo readers are pretty much the Criterion people of Japan, so they're more well-versed and openminded than the average Japanese film goer.

Criterion's edition of Miller's Crossing is cut by almost two minutes - because the Coens suffer from Lucasitis, I guess. Also, the transfer is exactly the same as the 2011 Fox edition. They cut one of the best lines - "Jesus, Tom!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3YATAlIkk8
