Pretty sweet line-up, huh? Too bad it’s only available with Korean subtitles. For some reason, DVDfromKorea has been stocking up on Akira Kurosawa collections — none of which I’ve heard anything about. Now, they’ve got a pretty solid reputation, at least from my experiences, so there’s no reason to be suspicious, but it does sound too good to be true, especially at these prices. $29.99 for 16 discs!? Insane. The only question that remains is the picture quality.

If you want to take the plunge, there’s a 4-disc collection with English subtitles going for $11.99 that includes The Seven Samurai, Rashomon (In The Woods), Ikiru (Living), and Tokyo Story as a bonus.
