In Reply to: JUZO ITAMI+any fans out there?+ posted by croft on July 04, 2003 at 15:28:32:
Add a couple more to the list: Marutai no Onna (1997) which deals with a witness to cult killings, and Daibyoo-nin, (1993) "The Terminal Patient" which is a sympathetic portrait of a dying man
Itami Juzo died allegedly by suicide, but there are many that say he was thrown off a building and was actually murdered
He showed the moral decay and crime of comtemporary Japan a little too well perhaps, and made enemies as a result, he was very brave to take on those themes(!)
You'll have a hard job finding Japanese films in UK format, there are a lot more in USA NHTSC and Amazon.com and Ebay are your best bet
I can't help from Japan as VHS or Laser Disc isn't dubbed or subtitled for local films

Hi Eric,
Thanks for the post.
Great imfo,I also heard that Juzo had saddly passed away due to unusual circumstances.I really admired his photopgraphy in a taxing woman which i think is a timeless masterpeice.
I bought the soundtrack to the film on cd which has remixes on it,A real find.
Do you have many Juzo films?.
I have taxing woman 2 on vhs(ntsc),also Tampopo on dvd and mimbo no onna taped from the tv.Also the funeral on dvd.
The dvd pressing of Tampopo is far superior to the laserdisk as it has proper widescreen.Thanks for the imfo Eric,Your English is very good.
Tokyo is my favourite city,I have never been but i always wanted to see Mt Fuji and its sunrise from the summit.The other Juzo films you mentioned sound intresting Eric,Its a shame they dont release them on dvd or something.
I have seen some of the Juzo itami films caracters in other films but i cannot remember the titles.
I also have Sonatine starring Takeshi,
Great imfo and post,
Many thanks,
Ian.
