Rating:  - Please don't buy at this price!!
I found a used DVD on eBay for $35. It wasn't worth it. The image is letterboxed, but so small that you have to blow it up to resolution-killing proportions. I also own the VHS and laserdisc of "Black Rain." The tape offers a MUCH better image. The laserdisc gives the best results of all. I am outraged at the prices being asked here. I really hope this great movie will be re-released with proper care, and that the people who want to rip you off will be left holding the bag.

The bomb that hit Hiroshima in 1945 is vividly portrayed with horrifying ... Read More

Ever since Theodor Adorno first raised questions about the possibility of making poetry after Auschwitz, art has been haunted by the possibility of its own failure, the possibility that one of its most remarkable features--its ability to shock the viewer into new ways of seeing--might be eclipsed by the great spectacles of mass death the extermination camps made possible. How could there be poetry after Auschwitz? To this question another could be added: Can there be cinema after Hiroshima? Or is ... Read More
Rating: - Available now at a fraction of the prices advertised here!
Wonderful film as aptly described by previous reviewers. Just want to inform potential buyers that this film is now available at Amazon.fr.as "pluie noire". Subtitled in both French and English. So no need to purchase at the crazy prices avertised by marketplace sellers!
