Summary: This film tells the story of professor Uehida Hyakken-sama (1889-1971), in Gotemba, around the forties. He was a university professor until an air raid, when he left to become a writer and has to live in a hut. His mood has hardly changed, not by the change nor by time. Every year his students celebrate his birthday, issuing the question "Mahda kai?" (not yet?), just to hear Uehida-san's answer "Madada yo!" (No, not yet!), in a ritual of self affirmation, and desires of lasting forever. It's a very "japanese" film who portrays everyday life and customs in Japan. (imdb)

I was pleasantly surprised. This is among Kurosawa's most personal and affectionate films, and the professor is obviously a parallel for the director himself. Like all of Kurosawa's late work, this is a slow burner, but unlike his previous two efforts, the sense of passing time seems relative and consequential to the story. There is a comedic element I didn't expect, and there is much relief in the way of sardonic humor.

This was the first Kurosawa I watched, for some reason%u2014perhaps because it was fairly new when I watched it%u2014and, as introductions to his work go, it's not a particularly good one. Fairly slow-paced, fairly dense, incredible sentimental: a good film, perhaps, but not a film that urges one to sink one's teeth into more of the director's work. A rewatch%u2014now that I've seen much more of Kurosawa%u2014is definitely in order.

If you accept that the Professor is a surrogate for Kurosawa, then you can't help being a little put off by how everyone worships him and respects him and goes out of their way to help him. The people who surround him are mere shells of personalities. I guess if anyone has earned the right to be a little egotistical, it's Kurosawa, but still. Nonetheless, it is beautiful and touching in many ways. The montage of the professor and his wife in their tiny shack as the seasons change is lovely.

The last Kurosawa film, and for many people it seems hard to sink into. I've seen people draw connections to the professor and Kurosawa, but I'm not entirely convinced this is appropriate. If drawing any connections, I would say Madadayo compares most to one of his earlier works: Ikiru. There is a mystical quality about this film that will captivate you and make you smile. A beautiful film that puts an end to Kurosawa's lifetime of achievement.

I was really disappointed as I was watching this one, concluding that Kurosawa was well past his prime for his last film. But then it got to that awesome ending, and everything fit together better. I should never have doubted The Master.
