It's not until March, but you should see Shriley Clarke's The Connection and then lord it over me. (I've never seen it, but have long meant to.)
You've piqued my interest here. I'm going to move Dr. Akagi and Warm Water under a Red Bridge to the top of my queue. I'll try to post reviews before the Siskel screenings.

I've meant to get to more of the Rosenbaum series, I only saw him introduce one (
A Man Escaped) and he added nothing of interest about the film or its context - really disappointed me. For some reason I don't have much pull from
The Connection - sell me
I've had a dvd-copy of it sitting around for a few months and still haven't gotten around to it. I thought her
Portrait of Jason was interesting and messed up.
Hopefully I'll get to a couple of the Imamuras. Too often there are far too many cinema options in this town (prolly gives that other town a run for the money).
