Off the top of my head; Yojimbo, Sanjuro, The hidden fortress and High and low is out on Criterion, and Rashomon is coming the end of march.

Also, Ran is released from Fox lorber, but I hear the disc is not good, and I also kept hearing rumours about re-releases, so I didn't bother with it.

In Europe The British Film Institute (BFI) has released some Kurosawa DVD's:
Seven Samurai, Throne Of Blood, Yojimbo and Rashomon.
To be released in March:
Hidden Fortress and Stray Dog
Edit: Rhapsody In August has been released by another company.

In Spain we have: "Redbeard", "Madadayo" and "Ikuru" as well, but awful DVDs and no english subtitles.

There will be some repetition here, but for the sake of completeness, Region One has:
Criterion
Hidden Fortress
High and Low
Rashomon (Forthcoming)
Seven Samurai
Sanjuro
Yojimbo
Fox Lorber
Madadayo
Ran
Kino
Dersu Uzala

Criterion also has Dodes Ka'den(sp?).

Criterion also has Dodes Ka'den(sp?).

Not yet they don't. It has been a Criterion laserdisc and a Home Vision VHS, But Dodes 'Ka-Den has yet to appear on a Criterion DVD.

Any word on wether we'll ever see "Dreams" on DVD?

 

[Derek Faber]

Well, I saw in a Criterion catalog, that Dodes Ka'den was listed alongide Rashomon as coming soon, unless things changed and they dumped it.

I'll be the first to confirm that the RAN disc sux bad. Bad picture quality, bad sound quality. NOTHING went into that disc, but good movie!
