'The Only Son' ( a 'must' for Ozu fans) out on DVD now


http://global.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/pid-1004038381/code-j/section-videos/

Also soon (next year?) on Criterion http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/DVDReviews16/the_only_son_dvd_review.htm

Quote: NOTE (Thanks Brian!): In November 2003 Donald Richie said in a Japan Times interview that the next Ozu film Criterion would be releasing (after Early Summer) was THE ONLY SON. So perhaps we'll see a definitive version in '06.


edit: Just watched it again: it may be an imperfect print but it is quite/very watchable, and definitely a must-see/must-have.
