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.

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 )
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 )
The master of all cinema releases this compilation film of some dreams he has had. All expertly handled, and beautifully shot. It loses marks as the overall quality is inconsistent. Some dreams just aren't as good as others. Other dreams become a bit too preachy in their message.
First of all it's diferent. Don't think there's any other film out there about 8 diferent dreams who suposely don't have much to do with each other... Is there? The film is visually astonishing and creative and I don't think I need to say again how original and unique it is... It... ...( read more )
it's really like a dream to see another people's dream, especially the unique one.,
and it's really delightful to see my fave director act in his fave director's movie.,
but there's something that i don't really enjoy about kurosawa's style of directing, it's very detail, it kind... ...( read more )
It's really "dreaming" from start to end. This is a real logic of "the art of simplicity and beauty".
this film is a compilation of several short films. every story is surreal. the story was start from the past (where myth or supersticious is still important) untill the future (nuclear, chaos, etc). every story was given beautifully and so symbolic. i love it!
the story i love t... ...( read more )
beautiful film... love the Sunshine Through The Rain,The Peach Orchard,The Blizzard,Crows,and Village of the Watermills.
this movie is inpired in actual dreams that this director had.. i wish i could dream like him!! lol!
Yo sé que es algo estúpido, pero me aburrió un poco lo indirecta que es la película. La imagen es asombrosa.
eight dreams, eight short trips into the mind of one of the best filmmakers of all time. the visuals are stunning, very colourfull and dreamy-like, and the stories are awesomly simple and sweet combined with a deep analysis of human fears, thoughts and nature. marvelous....
Calmed, deep, meaningful and harmonic. Beauty can be found in every frame. Kurosawa's last masterpiece, before Madadayo.
85/100
some beautiful imagery for sure, but for a film that relies so heavily on visuals not the best in kurosawa's catalog.
My favorite movie of all time. A dystopic look at 20th-century Japan in the form of eight dream sequences. Explores the complex relationship between man and nature, including our best attempts to destroy it. The centenarian in the final dream sums it up: "The most important thing... ...( read more )
This has a very dated feel to it. Patchy, in that it is interesting in places...but overall, fails to keep the attention.
there were parts of this i really liked and parts i didnt understand. with the camera and the story. as much as i love a story that was the part i missed the most and it made me feel teh most un comfertable but the tunnel secene was the most comellling and i stayed entertained.
why do i still remember this movie after all these years? it's just well done, with crisp short stories in all its episodes, and great cinematography!
The problem with Anthology films is that some stories are bound to be better than other ones. It seemed like Kurisowa just had a few scenes in his head that he knew he would never live long enough to film and decided to combine them all. One part of ...(read more)the film where a... ...( read more )
Really intresting serias of short stories that are presenting Akira's dreams. I personally liked the most a dream with Van Gogh, and Tunnel. They are all very much connected with death.
Awesome collection of highly effective shorts that, together, form a thought-provoking and visually stimulating work of cinema.
A real departure from kurosawa's other works. well worth watching.
Even though I can´t see the connection between the stories... Each one gives you the sensation of dreaming. I specially liked the one of the tunnel and the death soldiers.
This movie is very impressive, personally i think it is beautiful yet disturbing....
Be patient,and you will found that it worth your time...
For a kids, this is definitely a nightmare, not a dream....
But for Akira Kurosawa, or perhaps for us...well....we know this is not jus... ...( read more )
Eu tenho um certo problemas com filmes orientais: não gosto nem fodendo. Até gosto da estética de alguns, mas geralmente não passa disso. Com "Sonhos" foi diferente... Eu assisti com um respeito grande, tentando gostar desesperadamente, pois sabia que era um "filme cult". As impr... ...( read more )
