Thank you very much. Look forward to watching this tonight. Yûzô Kawashima is not very well known outside Japan. Part of the reason is he did a lot of comedies and western critics were looking for serious auteurs.
Thank you a lot for this one !
Thank you so much ! I’ve also been trying to find Suzaki Paradise, if anyone has tips !
