Movie
Dodes'ka-den
1970 · 140 min
A slow, mosaic-like plunge into hardship and fragile dreams, mixing stark despair with moments of tenderness and fantasy.
- Overview
- On a Tokyo dump’s shantytown edge, interwoven vignettes follow residents scraping by: a boy who “drives” an imaginary trolley, a homeless father and son designing a dream house, a young woman brutalized at home, drunks, schemers, and saints of small kindnesses. Kurosawa crafts a ragged mosaic of hardship, fantasy, and flickers of grace that keep people moving forward.
