  • August 1, 2007
    I really really really really want to see this.
  • August 1, 2007
    One of the most amazing movies you'll see, even if you're not a Kurosawa fan
  • July 30, 2007
    This is my favorite movie of all time.

    I love the setup of the film with several small stories. Everything has that unreal yet vivid feeling of a dream.

    Not only do these stories represent dreams, but some of them show some things that might happen or have happened in such...( read more) a way as the mind might create them in a dream.

    the best movie i ever seen
  • July 16, 2007
    A beautiful and tragic vision of our world through the fantasy of dreams.
  • July 15, 2007
    Beautifully done. I like the part when the guy gets caught up in Van Gogh's paintings.
  • July 8, 2007
    I would argue that Kurosawa saved the best for last. My favorite of his movies, which is saying a lot when you consider all of his masterpieces.
  • July 5, 2007
    Ok, everyone loves this one. I just didn´t.
  • July 3, 2007
    Beautiful! A "must-see" movie for those who have an open mind!
  • July 1, 2007
    Beautiful, required viewing for all people interested in life, art, and Vincent Van Gogh.
  • June 27, 2007
    una esquisita secuencia de historias que evidencian todo la parte moral y de personalidad de las personas, la vida y la muerte, el deseo, lo que se quiere ser y se ve truncado y finalmente los sueños como su nombre lo dice.

    Artistic doesn't mean boring!...Could you fight without fighting?...Could you see without hanging on your sight skills?...
  • June 12, 2007
    May not be Kurosawa's best, but most of these stories are unforgettable. A boy staring at a single peach blossom, the demon at my side, the tunnel, van gogh, the village of windmills,.. I love this flick.

    No una pelicula para todo el mundo debido a que es lenta, pero excelente fotografia y toca temas muy interesantes
  • June 10, 2007
    Are there any wet dreams? MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. No, seriously, are there?
  • May 30, 2007
    only saw one of the shorts.
  • May 29, 2007
    visually amazing, as well as interesting storytelling
  • May 29, 2007
    absolutely gorgeous journey through colour and through the human spirit. requires patience to watch, as kurosawa's pacing is very slow and deliberate. a masterpiece in choreography, colour, theme and love of filmmaking.
  • May 24, 2007
    Oh I definitely want to see this. Kurosawa is credited for helping inspire Star Wars and just about every action movie since the 1960s.
  • May 23, 2007
    watching this movie late at night is very comforting for me.
  • May 23, 2007
    Sureal and disturbing. Visually...
  • May 20, 2007
    I like this movie when watched in pieces but I don't like watching all the way through.
  • May 2, 2007
    just fucking amazing
  • May 2, 2007
    Kurosawa's most beautiful movie. A collection of japanese short stories in which Akira blends myth and color in a profound journey into aestthetics. If you like Kurosawa's technique in B&W, wait till you see what he does in colors. Amazing!!
  • May 1, 2007
    The dreams, what a precious place where all the things that we wish and hate become true for one moment.

    Like a writer, many of my dreams and nightmares serve me to create news and strange worlds where anything is possible, Akira Kurosawa and others like Salvador Dalí or Takas...( read more)hi Miike, help me to understand this.

    Maybe i'm too subjective with this film because, i adore the infinite posibilitys of the dreams, the surrealism and the subconscious...
  • April 29, 2007
    Beautiful and intense.
  • April 23, 2007
    I do not know how true is it that all 8 scenes are his exact dreams. Nevertheless, I think it is extremely bold to create a film that is so much like real dreams that it moves away from the usual movies hook. Very slow paced and illogical most of the time. You will only like it i...( read more)f you understands the philosophy and life issues presented. What attracts viewers here is the individualism of Kurosawa. We get to think his thoughts and dream his dreams. Very fasinating.
  • April 23, 2007
    Interesting... The stories are almost put together as fairy tells.
  • April 22, 2007
    great mise en shot and mise en scene!
  • April 20, 2007
    One of the most beautifull movies I have ever seen.
  • April 18, 2007
    Kurosawa's observations and interpretations of changes in life and nature. Good on big screen with surround sound or on your iPod.
  • April 10, 2007
    With each dream I love this movie more and more. That scene at the end... it's like heaven. That's where I want to go to die. Don't we all?
  • April 8, 2007
    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.
  • April 7, 2007
    Lucas and Spielberg did an amazing job showing the amazing series of short stores -- completely irresistable!
  • April 5, 2007
    The returning soldier in the fog is my all time favorite... it's an awesome movie... Kurosawa san rocks!
  • April 3, 2007

    Between dreams and reality
  • February 9, 2007
    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."
