Ozu box set on Eclipse

Another Summer treat! Criterion's offshoot, Eclipse, specializes in compiling a series of films by prominent directors in one low priced box set. They began with the early films of Ingmar Bergman, and will follow up with a Louis Malle set. But what caught my eye is the third set slated, which is the late films of Yasujiro Ozu. It contains five movies - Early Spring, Tokyo Twilight, Equinox Flower, Late Autumn, The End of Summer. No bonus features, but all are remastered from the best prints. Definitely a must have.
