Went into my Amazon Japan shopping cart last Thursday

Jeff, do you speak/read Japanese cause I can't make out English subs on that page.

 

[Jeff Kleist]

I read enough for this

It's the first subtitle track in the list of 10 at the bottom. 2 kanji "Eigo" and then 3 characters common to all the tracks which I assume means "translation" or something similar

Translation of the specs box (well, near as i can

First box-(video)

16:9 Vista Size (squeeze) (Japanese phrasing for 1.85:1, assuming it's referring to the TV size and not the film aspect ratio, "squeeze" meaning anamorphic. Dreams was shot Super35(spit), and the home video widescreen releases have been aroud 2.1:1. Japan is a very OAR country, so I'm assuming this is not an issue

Second Box- (audio)

1 audio track- Japanese (Nihongo)-Dolby Surround

Third Box- (subtitles)

10 tracks-

1-English (Eigo)
2-French (Furansu)
3-Spanish (Supain)
4-Portugese (Poretogare)
5-Japanese (Nihongo)
6-Chinese (assuming Mandarin, it's just the kanji for "China")
7-Thai (Tai)
8- Hangule??????? That's what the kana says, Indonesia maybe?
9-Japanese and something else, maybe closed captions?

I love AK but I'm not familiar with this movie. Is it worth picking up?

 

[Jeff Kleist]

Given that we're excited about it, yes I would say it's worth getting. If you love Kurosawa-sensei you'll love this. It also features Martin Scorsese playing Vincent VanGogh
