Topic: Akira Kurosawa's Dreams

My favorite one is the first one with the fox, and the one about Van Gogh with Martin Scorsese.

I have not seen this movie, but a really want to.  I have heard it is absolutely beautiful.

Not my cup of tea in terms of Kurosawa films (I did like it more than Lower Depths, though), but I did enjoy it none the same. The Soundtrack was really great, especially the ending theme, while my favorite "episode" was actually one of the ones directed by Ishiro Honda instead of Kurosawa:

The Tunnel

I dreamt about hitting on a teenage chick last night.  It was the most fun I've had since I bought my Wii.

In your dream, did you let her play with your Wii?

[couchmonkey]

Actually she was looking at drawings of my Wii...no, no, it wasn't that hilarious, they were drawings of monsters. Kind of like the ones Napoleon Dynamite drew.

Now I've gone from deseriousing the thread to derailing it, which isn't the point.  I bet this movie is more interesting than Svevan makes it sound.

Yeah, the movie's pretty good. I agree with Arbok though about it not being a great Kurosawa film. (Arbok: the fact that you correctly identified The Lower Depths as a lower level Kurosawa means we have almost the exact same taste in his films. But The Tunnel? It was just a speech about war. No real "film" involved. The first one with the Fox is about the most amazing thing Kurosawa ever did, hyperbole notwithstanding)
