So you knew about Minoru Shibuya...Hi duriandave --<br /><br />So you knew about Minoru Shibuya before this post? If so, which of his films -- of any -- have you seen?<br /><br />As for te Kihachiro Kawamoto films: yeah, you're right in that I watched and reviewed "The Book of the Dead" some years back.

Just reading the descriptions, I could tell they'd be right up my alley.<br /><br />After reading about how much you loved his good-natured comedies, I'm very curious now about his darker, satirical works like <i>Modern People</i> and <i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
