New Master Dogen Movie

Re: New Master Dogen Movie

A seller that other Zen teachers are saying is reputable (I, however, have no personal experience with them) appears to be taking pre-orders for an "all region" "Zen" Life of Master Dogen Movie DVD for ...

US $16.99 ... apparently INCLUDING POSTAGE IN THE U.S.

I just ordered one to be shipped to me in Japan.

So, did you get it? Has anyone else outside US bought one from Kimook and did it work alright? I just tried to order one, but for some obscure reason it doesn't accept my order. I get to the Order confirmation page and when I press continue from there it jumps back to Payment information and tells me to make sure the name and payment information match. They do. Same happens with a friend when he tried to order it for me (he has a different sort of credit card). I guess I'll cross Kimook off from my list of places-to-buy-from and get back to CDJapan (at least I know it works, have ordered from there before).

Hi Mika!
I bought a copy from kimook.com just about a month ago and received it a week after. The site had some hiccups on me. but it took eventually. Not the most high end user experience but ive figured from the email confirmations its a small 1 or 2 person company and they are using a canned shopping card system. Any special characters used in your name or information? Anywho I STILL haven't been able to watch it as my ps2 aka dvd player doesn't like it and my computer is always occupied. Im going to have to wait until the middle of the night under some covers to watch it

Re: New Master Dogen Movie

I wouldn't mind seeing this. I also wanted to mention, I'm going to start another thread about Zen in the movies, 'cause I don't want to wander off-topic on this one.

Nope, just your regular A-Z alphabet. I wonder if it's because I live in Finland, their system wanted some county/state/something information that's N/A for most people outside US. My friend had tried it for a couple of days before consulting me, so it wasn't a temporary problem at their end either. Anyways, we ended up ordering it from another supplier whose system works so hopefully I'll get it for x-mas. 8)

Re: New Master Dogen Movie

Right now I think the main subed versions are all PAL formatting ( not the NTSC we have in the west) though the NTSC version should be out soon...there are also DVD players out there you can get that play both no matter where you live.

The version I have is The Japan release Version, so I had to manually add the subtitles myself, and re-render it in a different format, it was a pain, but well worth it. I was actually planning to host a viewing of it for our Zendo sometime soon actually..." though I've been saying that for a few months now >.> "

Re: New Master Dogen Movie

The one I ordered from http://www.kimook.com is NTSC with English subs....at least that's what it says on the box...I haven't watched it as it is a Christmas present for me. (FYI It took only a few days to get and I had no difficulty ordering online...as some above seem to have had.)

Re: New Master Dogen Movie

Greetings All,
could someone who has acquired the cheaper DVD version of this movie confirm that the English subtitles are coherent?

They are sometimes mangled on Hong Kong/Chinese editions of Japanese releases.

Thanks in advance for your help with this.

Re: New Master Dogen Movie

Cool! I cannot wait to get my hands on a copy of this. I am hoping Netflix will carry it, but if I cannot find it there I will go ahead and purchase it.

Those cartoons are hilarious!

I saw a version with and without subtitles, and I thought the subtitling good and faithful to the Japanese. I am assuming that it is the same set of subtitles you will see.

Re: New Master Dogen Movie

Hello all,

Just wanted to give anyone thinking of ordering this movie an update. I ordered from http://www.kimook.com/ and I must say they have excellent customer service. The movie was, as advertised, with English subtitles. The first DVD I received was damaged and would not play one of the chapters. I sent the company an e-mail and they sent out a replacement disk immediately and didn't even as for a return on the old disk. Nice company.
