Dreams (Akira Kurosawa's Dreams) (Yume) Reviews and Ratings



  • February 8, 2007
    Another classic from the master Kurosawa.A great flick!
  • February 6, 2007
    Simply gorgeous, the final Kurosawa film, and his most daring. Even Martin Scorsese has a small part, playing as Vincent Van Gogh.
  • January 28, 2007
    The second I read that there was a Kurosawa film in which Scorsese plays Van Gogh, it became my mission to track down this movie.
  • January 28, 2007
    Beautiful movie really beautiful
  • January 24, 2007
    Probably the greatest "end of life" achievement by any director.
  • January 6, 2007
    To quote Agent Cooper, "wonderful and strange..."
  • December 17, 2006
    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.

    This is a surreal trip into the mind of Kurosawa. Sometimes it is beautiful, sometimes it is haunting, but always visual. This is an amazing achievement into cinema by a master of the mediums. What an awesome movie!

  • October 31, 2006
    momentos maravillosos!!! una película inusual.. el problema es que hay que tener un amplio conocimiento de arte y cultura japonesa para disfrutar al máximo de esta pelicula... personalmente me gustaron ciertas partes.. otras no tanto porque no las entendí!

    FUCKING BRILLIANT. I LOVE THIS MOVIE AND IF YOU DON'T GET IT, I DON'T CARE IT'S JUST TOO AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL.
  • October 24, 2006
    Another cinematic journey where "Where much is given much is required" applies.
  • October 22, 2006
    Hermosa reflexion de un artista profundmente humano.
  • October 22, 2006
    Akira Kurosawa is the Japanese Spielberg, this is an amazing enterpretation of dreams he has had. Make of these stories what you will...
  • October 15, 2006
    Un beau film, mais qui m'intéresse pas personellement... C'est pas un sujet qui m'attire... Mais y'a des bons trucs, comme Scorsese dans le rôle de Van Gogh!
  • October 9, 2006
    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)'s also precious to anyone who always felt fascinated by dreams and the role they play in our lifes (like myself). If there were any doubts, this masterpiece explains why Mr. Kurosawa was one of the greatest inspirations for some of the greatest and most brilliant directors of nowdays! Words can't really describe how marvelous this film is...
  • October 7, 2006
    BUenisima! Algunas historias mas que otras...
  • October 3, 2006
    Kurosawa is AMAZING! I want to see this really bad!
  • October 2, 2006
    Kurosawa, Spielberg and Lucas and Scorcese on the same set. They walk through Van Gogh paintings! Incredible visually. A total trip :p
  • September 30, 2006
    combines my love of short stories and the stunning imagery only akira kurosawa brings. as his last film, it reveals his perspective through japan's recent history and culture shock
  • August 17, 2006
    If you have not seen this and loved it, then I assume you are an idiot who doesn't deserve to breathe the same air as the rest of us.
  • July 24, 2006
    It's something different. A fox wedding procession, dancing dolls, snow fairies...although it can be a little preachy at times (the whole thing can be seen as a cry for environmental conservation), it's a joy to watch. Simply brilliant.
  • July 19, 2006
    ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME!!!!!!! LEMMEEE SEE IT!!!!!!!!!
  • July 16, 2006
    bright and beautiful this is the most accessible Kurosawa film.
  • July 4, 2006
    This is essentially eight separate short films, though with some overlaps in terms of characters and thematic material - chiefly that of man's relationship with his environment. 'Sunshine Through The Rain': a young boy is told not to go out on the day when both weather conditions...( read more) occur, because that's when the foxes hold their wedding procession, which could have fatal consequences for those who witness it. 'The Peach Orchard': the same young boy encounters the spirits of the peach trees that have been cut down by heartless humans. 'The Blizzard': a team of mountaineers are saved from a blizzard by spiritual intervention. 'The Tunnel': a man encounters the ghosts of an army platoon, whose deaths he was responsible for. 'Crows': an art student encounters Vincent Van Gogh and enters the world of his paintings. 'Mount Fuji in Red': nuclear meltdown threatens the devastation of Japan. 'The Weeping Demon': a portrait of a post-nuclear world populated by human mutations. 'Village of the Watermills': a sunny portrait of a village whose population is entirely at one with nature.

    I couldn`t get into this one
  • June 30, 2006
    Kurosawa puts everything into perspective with anti-perspective. He captures the sub-conscious very well, and sends a message with it.
  • June 17, 2006
    more than a great movie
  • June 14, 2006
    the wedding of the foxes is my favorite; beautiful overall
  • June 11, 2006
    if you need to tire your eyes out with surreal imagery and tweak ur imagination, plug this. (highly recommend with acid)
  • June 6, 2006
    despierta conciencia
  • June 5, 2006
    Very much like an art film
  • May 30, 2006
    It is confusing at first becuase I didn't know the concept when Istarted watching it. The concept is as the title states "Akira Kurosawa's Dreams". it is a compalation of several dreams he has had.
  • May 28, 2006
    Beautiful simpy Beautiful
  • May 19, 2006
    Beautifully shot but, again, WAAAAAAAY too long.
  • May 8, 2006
    Akira Kurosawa is great, I must see!
  • April 21, 2006
    Chotto mutsukashii na.
  • March 26, 2006
    If these were his real dreams then he was an interesting guy. Some of the "dreams" were beautiful.
