Criterion does it again - Hiroshi Teshigahara box set this summer

Criterion, the leader in dvd reissues, has struck gold. A four dvd set of Japanese director's Hiroshi Teshigahara film's will be released this summer, and I am eagerly looking forward to it. Yes, I already have the Masters of Cinema editions of Pitfall and the Face of Another, as well as the BFI dvd of Woman in the Dunes, which is an extended cut. But what makes this four dvd box set so appealing (other than it being in region 1), is that it includes four short films by the director Teshigahara, interviews and a documentary. The films are all remastered from new prints, although how different they are from the British dvd are to be determined. These three films established Teshigahara as an important director, a leader of the Japanese "new wave" of the 60's, who dealt with issues of identity, and the anxieties of the self in relation to the world. By the way, Anyone having the out of print Image dvd of Woman in the Dunes should sell it - this will also be the extended cut version by almost 20 minutes.
