Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
These days, people are more interested in Kurosawa than he is in being Kurosawa.

rotten:
There's more narrative movement here than in Dreams, but the pedagogic humanism still gets bogged down in facile simplification.

A beautiful reminder from octogenarian Akira Kurosawa that he's still the master.
