The Writers Guild of America officially announced that the strike is over, now Hollywood can get back to work.

But can it? So many shows have been left in turmoil, seasons have started with no resolution, no story arc.

Kon Ichikawa was certainly prolific! He was working until the last year. Evidently, he was hospitalized in January and just never recovered his health. But he lived a very long and productive life, so that's certainly admirable.

Some of the movies that i loved (aside from "An Actor's Revenge"): "Kagi", "Kokoro", "Ototo", "Being Two Isn't Easy", "Nihonbashi", "The Makioka Sisters". I'd especially like to see "Ototo" again.
