Thanks for the information. It's a shame that they are a little disappointing. I think I will wait and see what Criterion does with 'em. On a side note, my wife has only sat through maybe one Ozu film, yet every time I put one of the many I own on she thinks that she's seen it. Mainly because of his use of the same actors.
