    Still on the fence about which Kurosawa-era I enjoy more, his black and white world or the films in color that are some of the most impressive. Made of 8 short tales, each one presumably dreamt by Kurosawa, they are arranged in chronological order from childhood to old age.

    T...( read more)hemes range from childhood fears, sorrow of war, and accepting one's own mortality. Highlights include Village of the Watermills and Scorsese's portrayal of Van Gogh.

    Uneven series of dreams of AK, goes downhill quickly after the first section, although old Chishu Ryu makes an appearance for the final segment

    pretty fulfilling movie. this is actually a series of 8 short films that average around 15 minutes each. they are short films about the actual dreams of kurosawa. george lucas and martin scorcese helped make this film and a variety of actors starred in the various short films....( read more) ultimately 4 of these films were fantastic, 2 were just ok, and 2 werent very good, but overall it is worth a watch for any die hard kurosawa fan so that we can get inside of his head a little. blizzard and watermill village were the most profound of these. if you arent into kurosawa, you might not like this film much at all.

    some of it was better than others. it was a collection of eight short films. the colors in it were beautiful and i loved the way he used the sounds and music. in this one short one i didnt particularly like they said the best thing. they were talking about how a nuclear plant had...( read more) exploded and all these colored clouds were coming down a mountain and another guy was talking about what kind of radiation each one was and what exactly it did to kill you. then he said, "radiation used to be colorless, so they dyed it. but that only lets you know which one kills you."

    "In dreams, emotions are overwhelming"
    A movie that explores the land of dreams, a personal favorite of mine as a theme.
    The movie is based on some of Kurosawa actual dreams, and is made by several short surreal stories, with any connection between, and the plot and the dialog ...( read more)are secondary or lack entirely.
    The movie is absolutely hypnotic, I just stood there amazded, the cinematography is top notch.
    The "dreams" are exploring the relationship between man and nature, art, tehnology, war, etc, so the bits are not all as powerful or as beautiful. My personal favourites were the first two ( Sunshine through the rain, The peach orchard) and the one with Van Gogh paintings (Crows).
    A beautiful movie that makes you think.
