Tagline

The past, present, and future. The thoughts and images of one man... for all men. One man's dreams... for every dreamer.

Overview

Eight visually rich vignettes drawn from Kurosawa’s own dreams—fox weddings and vanished orchards, a soldier’s ghosts, a walk through Van Gogh’s canvases, nuclear nightmares, and a water-mill utopia—meditate on childhood, art, mortality, and humanity’s uneasy bond with nature.

How it feels

Earnest, melancholic, eerie and dark. Slow-burning and demanding.
