I never want to miss anything so I always sit tight and hope someone else complains. Usually works

I'm up to 301 as I recently watched Sansho the Bailiff. Beautifully shot, at times powerfully emotional, but the sum total of the film wasn't quite the enrapturing experience for me that is discussed in the Criterion disc's extras. What is really interesting is that according to the AD, Mizoguchi was unhappy with the film as the studio execs forced a lot of changes on him. Yet the final product is regarded as one of cinema's greats. - B+
