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.
