At long last! At last, the full version of this film! I'm confident the DVD will have the usual high quality one associates with the Criterion Collection. I missed the limited run of the full-length version in theaters, two years ago, and am looking forward to this *a lot*. Yes, Coppola and Lucas produced the film and they should be thanked for it. Unfortunately, they also asked Kurosawa to shorten the film, for purely business reasons, thus mutilating the vision of a man they claim to admire. Which tends to mitigate the sincerity of their praise.
