I like it a lot.  That appears to be a minority opinion, though.

I like it too, and it has a beautiful score by Ennio Morricone.

Yeah, I voted for The Mission too. It's a bit heavyhanded, but between the cinematography and the score, it ends up being a remarkable experience.

Ballad of Narayama, not even a contest.  When Criterion finally releases a DVD, I will stop sanding them anthrax letters.  It is a crime against humanity that this one is unheard off.
I’ve lied to men who wear belts. I’ve lied to men who wear suspenders. But I’d never be so stupid as to lie to a man who wears both a belt and suspenders.

I want it to have a Criterion release for the reason you mention before, I want more people exposed to it.  No movie this good should be obscure.

Well having Facets put it out in the US is certainly significant exposure.
