Great to read this review, nonetheless.

It was briefly available in Canada a couple years back and I was able to get a copy before it was pulled. Great film.

And you can even suppress the Japanese sub-titles for everything except the songs)

I'd love to be able to see Greed and The Last Movie, but I'm currently holding off, hoping someone releases them.

Similar to Song of the South, another controversial film I'd love to see released is Ken Russell's The Devils, which has been denied a release by WB for the past decade due to its depiction of sex, violence, and religion. It was recently released in the UK by the BFI who convinced WB to license the film to them. Maybe Criterion can work out something similar.

Hoffman and Beatty are at their best! I'm glad to read
a nice review of it for once. Elaine May is brilliant. I
would add her film with Walter Matthau "A New Leaf"
to this list of under-appreciated disc-less movies.

I heard nothing but praise for this revenge flick. I have never heard anything of it. Another great movie that has never been given an official and proper home video release is Tsui Hark's Blade. One of Tsui Hark's last great films before he really floundered. Not too crazy about his new works. Blade stands as one of his best.

I caught "Wild River" on TMC last year, looking forward to seeing it again.
