Re: Asian Film Hall of Fame

It was slightly over a year ago that I had seen Rashomon for the first time. My initial thoughts were that it is great but not at the tippity-top of the Kurosawa oeuvre. Well, I've underrated this...

Nintendo 64 games have better "graphics" than Vince Collins films, so that makes a lot of sense.
