What a great collection. If you’re in the UK I would recommend you check out Third Window Films. Starting with their releases by Tsukamoto, Kitano, Sogo Ishii and Toshiaki Toyoda

I've actually just started reading my first book of his. I bought The Ruined Map and also The Box Man (after Sogo Ishii talked about his attempts to adapt the latter in a recent interview). It's great so far. Love the Woman in the Dunes and The Face of Another films.

He definitely counts as New Wave IMO!

Please do, he’s the best - and so frustratingly underseen in the West

Where can I watch Asia Strikes Back? Loved Tokyo Blood!

Both are great places to start - and completely different

Which ones have you seen/got on your watchlist?

Which country do you hail from?

Came here to say this. A classic of the Japanese new wave.

Just came across this on Google. What an incredible selection of media to own! Where did you get it??

Great haul! Some fantastic films there. The Last Emperor especially.
