Shimizu Hiroshi Boxsets

His (made-right-after-the-war Children of the Beehive certainly deserves to be better known (and widely available) -- but I don't even know who holds the rights for this.

I have been lucky enough to see his "Children of the Beehive" in a screening, but I'm very interested in its sequel and "Children and the Great Buddha". The latter two works are referred to in Keiko McDonald's article in "Word and Image in Japanese Cinema" and they seem to be quite important in gaining an understanding his films based on children.

I have never run across these other films -- and I suspect I never shall get any chance to see them.

Has there been any update on the MS of Keiko McDonald's final work on Shimizu? I was hoping that a pdf might emerge.

Nothing new that I have hear about.
