----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Yes, Kurosawa's latest film, released in Japan a year ago, is called "Mada da yo" (Not Yet). It has not yet been released theatricallyt,in the US (or Gt. Britain to my knowledge) nor might it ever, but it is also, therefore (?) not yet available on vide. Reviews from Japan were kind, at best, with most people who saw it coming away extremely disappointed, finding it overtly but also self-servingly autobiographical. Given the failure artistically and commercially of RHAPSODY, and, to a lesser extent, DREAMS, it may be that Kurosawa's latest film will be a long time coming overseas. As for the documentary AK, my memory flashes on Chris Marker (perhaps not inappropriately), but I don't want to say more, except I am unaware of its video availability through normal, legal channels.
