Thanks! Yes, the BFI’s Visconti season (in January) had a big influence here. And I sought out lots of Japanese films, particularly those by Naruse.

All in all, I possess 3 editions of The Devils - the above, which is currently the best looking bootleg so far, BFI's cut DVD release from 2012, & the real McCoy thanks to a contact at WB who sneaked me a copy to disc. This 2004 restoration has sat on a shelf for just over 20 years now!
