ive got some english links here:

http://www.artofeurope.com/koreeda/

there's a review of after life in the new _Film Quarterly_ thats not really
worth reading. the only thing i got out of it that i didnt get out of the
reviews contemporaneous to after life was that koreeda had planned a "fantastic
voyage" feature where he shrinks down and goes inside his body to cue him of
alzheimer's. sight and sound did something when after life came out. i'll run
through the MLA bibliography, let you know what turns up.

how did you get his documentaries from TV Man U? I'd be willing to write a
publish-or-perish piece for a peer-reviewed journal to get my hands on them.

also... there's three films and a music video on the filmography at my page that
arent on yr list. i wasnt willing to pay 60 euros for the complete cocco
collection dvd and could never find a chinese pirate of it. "this life" is an
8mm collaboration with kawase naomi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawase_Naomi),
daremo shirani is his new feature (http://www.kore-eda.com/features.htm) and the
third one i dont know, it's on his JMDb listing.

best,
nate
ps i'd be interested in reading at least a treatment of yr thesis. i could set
my francophone sister onto translating the whole thing. ;)
