    I would imagine they have sold out. Being it was the only place this and the big trail were released on blu ray the demand must have been quite high. Both are being sold on Amazon if that helps.



    In truth and in fact, I'm afraid they sent it back. I was there some days ago and they were packing up crates of DVDs and Blu-Rays and sending them back. I fear I missed it.

    I'll look for it in the next couple of days. I wish I'd known that before I suffered through this faded and sad version. Still, something to look forward to, isn't it? You're a dear. I'm not sure I can communicate how disappointed I was with the grey-as-black, pink-as-red version I suffered through. :heart: Thank you.

    Well, I managed to finish it out and I'm grateful I did. The fight scene was interesting and the photography was beautiful when it was new, I imagine. I'd like to get hold of the Blu-ray. I saw a letterboxed unrestored version from television.


    Thanks to everyone for their encouraging support. I give this one two stars because it was finished and I could see what they were going for in the film.


    :star::star:

    So, I started trying to watch The Barbarian and the Geisha...anyone else have trouble with this one?


    I hate to say it but it's sort of a stinker. I love films about Japan with accurate representations of the culture but the beginning made me cringe. Does it improve?


    Help!
