***Sounds like your 'better half' has good taste.

She does, she married me... I know, I know, trivial comeback.

***If any titles happen to catch your eye in the Asian section, I'd be more than pleased
to tell you what I know about it if you could jot down the titles or something.

I will do that. Thank you for being this helpful.

***I have found in the past that the best thing to do is simply mention a few titles,
and let whomever's viewing make up their minds, taste being so subjective and all...
after all there have been more than a few acknowledged classics, and good films
all, which I've never warmed to!

What can I say, tastes ARE subjective, but I have learned to believe in education and learning. All too often those who don't knwo simply say: Ah, OK, but I like THIS and this is simply the matter of taste! This is often used to mask ignorance. It goes without saying that I don't include you in this category, so I am not even mentioning it.

But my point is that the statement about the personal nature of taste has been abused, used as a shelter by the ignorant way too often. In movies just like in all other art forms the education keeps moving you.

***Anyway, do tell me what titles which have caught your eye, and we can takes it from there.
Have you seen Oshima's 'Gohatto'? How about Ichikawa's 'Makioka Sisters'?

No to both, but I shall dutifully write these down. My wife is usually against doing a particular director or a country too much, so I need to mix these things with good old world treasures. That way it goes down easier.

Thank you again.
