Viewing Notes

I’ve wanted to watch this for a long time but it’s never been made available via physical media or streaming. When Japan Society added to their online selection for rental I didn’t hesitate to pull the trigger.

This is a really fun and lush movie. My only regret is that I didn’t have enough time to watch this again during my rental window. Would love to find this on import Blu.
