I just came across this thread by complete coincidence. What a treasure!

I had no idea anyone was looking to release anything by Eiichi Yamamoto on Blu-ray. I caught his One Thousand and One Nights (Sen'ya ichiya monogatari) last year and was blown away by the mix of Sixties psychedelia, Arabian Tales and Japanese animation. I'm very interested in Belladonna of Sadness as a result - and these beautiful stills certainly don't lessen my interest.

Are there plans (or hopes or dreams) of releasing the other two movies in Yamamoto's "trilogy" ('Cleopatra' being the third)?

And as someone who has watched his fair share of silent movies (told you, this thread is a treasure!) I am simply astonished at the picture quality gained from the D.W. Griffith short! You can practically lift his fingerprint from that photo! In one fell swoop this renders all DVD releases of Griffith moot. I take it some sort of release of this (and other Griffith shorts) on Blu-ray is in the works?

I can't really decide which of the two is more exciting to me, but I just wanted to share my enthusiasm for these two projects! Thank you!
