This is my review of the Criterion product presentation and not so much the director's films. I bought this product to see the work of a director who was as esteemed as Akira Kurosawa in his home country and his times. The set adds depth to my Japan film collection and focuses on a film period rarely seen in USA and maybe even Japan. So that's the good part. I knocked the product down one star due to Criterion presentation. First like all these Criterion series, the box is only a paper slip case from which the 5 slim dvd cases constantly fall out the bottom. This is both annoying and potentially damaging to discs. It would have been better to package in one case with all 5 in trays. There is understandably very brief "extra material." But annoyingly the text is beige color printed on mustard color stock. There is hardly any contrast between text and the paper so it is very very hard to read. Whoever does graphic design for Criterion needs to be fired because this is an annoying feature of most of these series. Notice I used the description "annoying" several times.Read full review
