----------------------------Original message---------------------------- We have in our library what I believe to be the only complete collection of Kurosawa on laserdisc in the U.S. The catch is that most are in Japanese without subtitles. We have _Record of a Living Being_ in this collection. I checked OCLC and other libraries have it on VHS, with subtitles, but none in Southern California. Stanford has it, but they don't lend. If you want to borrow our disc, I could probably arrange a special loan for you. If you want/need subtitles, you may want to try borrowing on ILL from one of the other holding libraries for the VHS. I don't have a Facets catalog handy, but they may rent it. Kristine Brancolini Indiana University Libraries [log in to unmask]
