He can do action movies/historical epics extremely well, but nothing tops his take on existentialism

This film inspired me to get involved in my local community and ended up restoring an old dilapidated playground for kids, felt good
>>219458536This film inspired me to go out with a young Japanese woman and get dumped by her later on
>>219458224The Bad Sleep Well is both Kurosawa's best and most underrated film.
Wrong the best Kurosawa movie is Harakiri and that isn't even a Kurosawa movie.
>>219458312unfathomably based
High and Low mogs everything else, on a visual level as well as thematicallyI think the ending was honestly a mistake because it's so masterful how you completely understand the mostly silent villain's motivations well before he spells them out in the epilogue
>moral of the movie is go to cagiewaow. so based
>>219461118This. High and Low is just perfect.
>>219458536This film inspired my to go heavy on the sake at my boss's wake.
>>219461118It's on paper perfect but feels too constructed and predictable. I'd rather rewatch Ikiru or Rashomon.
>>219462355If you think that's the point you're genuinely retarded
>>219458224I'm more partial to his epics and aventures like 7 Samurai, The Hidden Fortress, Kagemusha. Ikiru has its great moments but some parts don't flow very well.
>>219464734>some parts don't flow very well.The final third of the movie was too slow and sentimental, it could've easily been 20 min shorter
>>21946473420th century Kurosawa is peak Kurosawa>Drunken Angel>Stray Dog>Ikiru>The Bad Sleep Well>High and Low>Dersu Uzala
>>219458595For the longest time I thought this was a Kurosawa movie with Toshiro Mifune, even after watching it.
>>219464828Yeah. I do admire the well-intentioned 'content' but if the 'form' is weak the whole thing diminishes.
>>219458536...that will immediately become dilapidated soon thereafter because of your countries certain demographics.
Wrong, this is. Prove me wrong
>>219464870Stray Dog is a great and kinda underrated neorealist cop flick. Haven't seen the others except High and Low
>>219464950>Kurosawa waited until the 1980s to make his first color movieWhy?
>>219464995Those old timer directors loved white & black film. Lighting and shadows allow more creativity than colour.
Kagemusha is criminally underrated. It honestly might be my favorite movie ever
