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
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)
5 Stars for cinematography, 3 1/2 for the story. Imaginative film but leaves something to be desired.
Simply Touching and Moving, Must Watch.
The movie consists of eight short stories. Most of which center around the issue of people's relationships with other elements that make up this world that we live in.
This movie made a lasting impression on me when I first saw it as a teenager. One of the most amazing anthology movies, by the masterful Akira Kurosawa...this film probably shaped my movie viewing for the rest of my life, having from this point gravitated towards foreign and inde...( read more)
Watch this movie when its raining heavily outside...Kurosawa is amazing...a must for film school students.Visuals are amazing. Camera angles are superb.
A collection of short films - major cool stuff. A few near the beginning are too god damn slow but others are unforgettable and have affected my life.
Not his best, it is still strangely evocative and compelling to watch. The most disturbing vignette has a soldier coming face to face with the souls of his lost platoon, while the most blissful concerns a visit to a peaceful, Japanese waterwheel village.
