THREE FILMS BY HIROSHI TESHIGAHARA complete 4-disc boxset http://www.criterion.com/boxsets/458 http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film2/DVDReviews32/three_films_hiroshi_teshigahara.htm DVD Release Date: July 10, 2007 ABOUT THE BOXSET: One of the most acclaimed Japanese directors of all time, Hiroshi Teshigahara distinguished himself in the sixties with a series of sinuous, atmospheric, and daring films. Teshigahara found his spiritual partner in novelist and screenwriter Kobo Abe, with whom he collaborated on these Kafkaesque portraits of identities in peril, films that captivated mainstream audiences while also touching the edges of the Japanese avant-garde. The existential ghost story Pitfall (Otoshiana), the shocking, erotic fable Woman in the Dunes (Sunna no onna), and the sci-fi–tinged nightmare The Face of Another (Tanin no kao) are among cinema's enduring enigmas and rarest pleasures.

When a miner leaves his employers and treks out with his young son to become a migrant worker, he finds himself moving from one eerie landscape to another, intermittently followed (and photographed) by an enigmatic man in a clean white suit, and eventually coming face to face with his inescapable destiny. Hiroshi Teshigahara’s debut feature and first collaboration with novelist Kobo Abe, Pitfall is many things: a mysterious, unsettling ghost story, a portrait of human alienation, and a compellingly surreal critique of soulless industry, shot in elegant black and white. Black and White 1.33:1 Japanese ------------------ DISC TWO ------------------ WOMAN IN THE DUNES http://www.criterion.com/films/826 1964, 147 min. One of the sixties' great international art-house sensations, Woman in the Dunes was for many the grand unveiling of the surreal, idiosyncratic worldview of Hiroshi Teshigahara. Eija Okada plays an amateur entomologist who has left Tokyo to study an unclassified species of beetle that resides in a remote, vast desert; when he misses his bus back to civilization, he is persuaded to spend the night in the home of a young widow (Kiyoko Kishida) who lives in a hut at the bottom of a sand dune. What results is one of cinema's most bristling, unnerving, and palpably erotic battles of the sexes, as well as a nightmarish depiction of everyday Sisyphean struggle, for which Teshigahara received an Academy Award nomination for best director. Black and White 1.33:1 Japanese ------------------ DISC THREE ------------------ THE FACE OF ANOTHER http://www.criterion.com/films/828 1966, 124 min. A staggering work of existential science fiction, The Face of Another dissects identity with the sure hand of a surgeon. Okuyama (Yojimbo's Tatsuya Nakadai), after being burned and disfigured in an industrial accident and estranged from his family and friends, agrees to his psychiatrist's radical new experiment: a face transplant, created from the mold of a stranger. As Okuyama is thus further alienated from the strange world around him, he finds himself giving in to his darker temptations. With unforgettable imagery, Teshigahara’s film explores both the limits and freedom in acquiring a new persona, and questions the notion of individuality itself. Black and White 1.33:1 Japanese ------------------ DISC FOUR ------------------ # Video essays on all three films by critic and festival programmer James Quandt. # Four short films by Hiroshi Teshigahara: Hokusai (1953), Ikebana (1956), Tokyo 1958 (1958), and Ako/White Morning (1963). # A new documentary about the working relationship beween Teshigahara and Kobo Abe, including interviews with Japanese-film scholars Donald Richie and Tadao Sato. =========================================

I'm a little dumb for this. Could anyone tell me how do I fix the part 12 using the recovery data?

Not_a_Cat (2009-12-06)

There seems to be a problem with 2 rar files: 12 & 20 ... :(
Sadly, this makes the file "VTS_03_2.VOB" to be corrupt...
Is there any posibily of please uploading only this file individually?
Thank you in advance

disimagery2 (2010-08-06)

to fix the corrupt rar files [disc 3 parts 12 and 20]-
open each one w/ winrar, use 'tools' > 'repair archives'... selct 'ok' when asked...each file has a recovery record and should repair.
after this, delete the original 'corrupt' files and then replace w/ the new 'repaired' files [be sure to rename- take off the "fixed." part at the front of each file] and retry the unrar.
