Easily the greatest thing to come out of this trip, though, was my opportunity to see the lovely Chigumi-san again and meet for the first time Kyoko-san, his wife and the backbone for many (perhaps all) of Obayashi Nobuhiko's films.

I just got back from Onomichi, Obayashi Nobuhiko's hometown. Here are some photos I took from some of the locations in his films.

'OBSESSION' star Cooper Tomlinson tells us he believes director Curry Barker could be the next Steven Spielberg.

Blow the Night is brilliant. Truly felt like a hidden gem when I rented it from a local video shop years ago. Definitely check it out. And I'm happy to see Tom Mes' involvement.

[Tom Mes @midnightmes]

I'm involved in this release and can say these are very much worth seeking out. Blow the Night will change the way you look at Battle Royale and Blue Spring.

As much as this site seems to get worse and worse, we always have Ryan's birthday greetings to look forward to.

[Ryan Swen/孫天行/Sun Tien-hsing @swen_ryan]

Happy birthday @pratt360!!

[pratt360 (a re 楠 (kusu)) @pratt360]

@swen_ryan Thank you Ryan!!!

[pratt360 (a re 楠 (kusu)) @pratt360]

@fromthereel At least you ended on a bang

Good Morning

@gooddaymp3 Finishing it before then coming back after is a hefty case of whiplash

[pratt360 (a re 楠 (kusu)) @pratt360]

@JosephLa3rd @bufordsharkley @kevin__fm I see it primarily as an opportunity lost. A lot of really cool research is being done on these films recently, and I'm just (foolishly perhaps) wishing there could be more to give the films and the people that research them

[pratt360 (a re 楠 (kusu)) @pratt360]

@Komdehagens They certainly can be

[pratt360 (a re 楠 (kusu)) @pratt360]

🤣

[pratt360 (a re 楠 (kusu)) @pratt360]

To be clear, I'm thrilled to see these get a release. And while they might not be loaded with extras, there's a Mark Nornes piece. He's an excellent scholar and a kind person.... so there's that

[pratt360 (a re 楠 (kusu)) @pratt360]

@archzuger @kevin__fm You're not alone, friend

[pratt360 (a re 楠 (kusu)) @pratt360]

@kevin__fm Just voicing frustrations. Still happy many of these are finally gonna be seen

[pratt360 (a re 楠 (kusu)) @pratt360]

The best

[pratt360 (a re 楠 (kusu)) @pratt360]

Considering Tanaka Kinuyo got an equally bare release, Criterion's losing its edge.

[pratt360 (a re 楠 (kusu)) @pratt360]

People have been saying this is the release of the year, and they're not wrong, BUT... WHY is this just an eclipse release??!? Some of these are like the best documentaries of the 20th century. Deserves more.

[Mr. Thank You @c0mmunicants]

Holy shit

@sucremod @ScreenSlate Congrats!!!
