I also read somewhere that Criterion has the rights to most of Edward Yang's filmography. That's something to look forward to, his films need the Criterion treatment. Some of them at least. I can just imagine a nice two disc set of A Brighter Summer Day (probably the best film I've seen this year, or close to). Maybe an Eclipse set of some of his early work.
PN, what have you seen of Hou's?
edit: Julio Medem and Pedro Almodovar have their fair share of faithful fans, and Portugal shouldn't be ignored either seeing as we're on the Iberian Peninsula. Now, off topic.

In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."
