Fascinating! Definitely one of the best movie I've ever seen.
Queria eu poder fazer um filme dos meus próprios sonhos e ganhar dinheiro com isso.
Saw this in High School... don't really remember what the movie was all about, but the colors-- I remember the colors and I was fascinated.
Kurosawa's most visually striking film. Eight hypnotic and eloquent short segments. Spielberg presented this film in Europe, while Lucas' ILM company did the effects and finally, who wouldn't want to see Scorsese playing Van Gogh? It's the pacing and experiment in time that makes...( read more)
Stunning visuals in some scenes are worth watching. That's it. I'm tired of the other mediocre messages the old man tries to deliver.
amazing cinematography but, overall, just far too dry for me to even finish it all in one session. sleeper.
Calmed, deep, meaningful and harmonic. Beauty can be found in every frame. Kurosawa's last masterpiece, before Madadayo.
81/100
Martin Scorsese playing Vincent Van Gogh in a film by Akira Kurosawa? In the words of Johnny Depp in a recent rather respectable crime film: "What more you need to know?"
what an amazing piece of art. Surreal&wonderful its almost like magic!Beautiful!
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".
the last dream reminded me a lot of Miyazaki <3 it made me all peaceful inside. WONDERFUL *
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!
Great yet a bit strange. This one is sorted under 'animation' please correct that!
Kurosawa nos presenta sus sueños, angustias y temores es realmente hermoso
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....
Kurosawa has many masterpieces under his belt but this is my personal fav.
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.
I actually HAVE seen this, but it was a long time ago and I don't have much memory of it.
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.
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.

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