A few several accounts of awful people doing shitty things. My third Akira Kurosawa was very rough indeed, I was not really that invested in this movie after the first scene when I realized what it was going to be about! I can appreciate the technical aspects of this movie but I did not really enjoy the rest of it

This is my least favorite Kurasawa film but I still enjoy it enough. To me, this is incredibly boring and I am completely disinterested in the plot. The acting and weird laughing can get really grating at times as well. That being said though, I do like a lot of how this is shot and it still has that beautiful Kurasawa charm. I think this being one of his earlier works makes it so he had not fully found his style yet. After this, almost all of his films are masterpieces and I am excited for the rest of this month!

My 1950th logged film on Letterboxd
Man this was.. disappointing. I have always loved stories that show the same story from different 'perspectives', so I had been very...
karamazov.
Although several images [the medium spinning maniacally, Mifune's performance-- every bit as wild, full of life, and fucking nuts as, say, one by Kinski-- etc.] were/are forever...
