For those of you that are not hip to the Criterion company all I can tell you is to get hip! Criterion is a company that restores classic pieces of cinema from all over the world and puts them out on dvd. They then add a ton of extras like interview with cast, crew and director as well as audio commentary. These are superb releases and are typically quite pricey in the stores and go for approx. $30 each! WOW! I have been picking up several Criterion classic Japanese dvd's on Ebay for a much better price and one I have just watched is Sansho The Bailiff (see trailer). A classic piece of Japanese cinema from 1954 that brought tears to my eyes. Not hip to Criterion? Here is their web site http://www.criterion.com/
