  4. hi Chito..

    unfortunately, its not listed..the only thing which came after was "For inquiries, please contact The Japan Foundation, Manila (JFM) at tel. #811-6155 to 58 or email at email@jfmo.org.ph."

    but I hope they do show his other works..like Throne of Blood, Yojimbo, Kagemusha..and even Red Beard would be shown too...or it could be that his other works not shown on DVD would be included...
