I suppose its difficult to market these kinds of films, and none of them have any name recognition thanks to decades of neglect by their own producers. DVD production is expensive enough, as well, without all the hangups these companies seem to have (even the few I'm aware of.)

I don't like the idea of releasing box-sets for testing the waters on filmmakers. It seems the best way to go

Wild Side will stop releasing "old" japanese movies next year (with some roman porno), that's what they said in their last "interview". (they want to focus on italian cinema)

Thanks for your text, it's not the kind of movie to be reviewed everywhere on the web. It's good to find at least some good informations about it !

Hope to read other text from you on rare movies ;)
