Movie Reviews of Akira Kurosawa's Dreams
Movie Review: a stunning work, what cinema and film should be
Summary: 5 Stars
If you don't know Kurosawa's work, this film is an excellent start. If you like western movies, check out Kurosawa's samurai films. Who do you think brought the American western movies back to life? Ever seen the Magnificent Seven? You can thank Kurosawa for that. Not the film itself, just the story line and brilliant message. Dreams is an enchanting visual experience besides a commentary on war and humanity. Do yourself a favor and find out why western film makers have been stealing Kurosawa's chops for decades. Go to the original master source.Movie Review: Foreign films can be different, but nice.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very avant-guarde movie; very different from your typical modern film. It is actually a series of eight short movies depicting a dream. Given an even chance, and a little time to think outside the expectations of a typical modern movie; I think this movie can be quite entertaining and thought-provoking. It is fascinating to explore the mysterious world of dreams, as doctors Freud and Jung have so impressed upon modern society. The color and Japanese feel of this movie are a tribute to the artistic talents of the reknowned director.Movie Review: Dreamy cinematic art...
Summary: 5 Stars
A kaleidoscope of eight dreams where each dream leaves the audience with an open ending triggers thoughts and reflections shadowed by the audience's knowledge, values, and believes. The beauty of each dream offers several different meanings for each individual viewer, which provides personal impact on the audience. The dreams also present many similar notions, yet, each notion has its unique symbolism formed by the viewers own collective knowledge, beliefs, and values, which in the end offers an absolutely exceptional cinematic experience.Movie Review: It is About Time!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a long overdue DVD, one I have been waiting for, for a very long time. This was the first foreign film I ever watched and every felt a true passion for. I watched this for the first time when I was 18, and it helped open me to a world beyond brain-dead action and mindless horror films. It is very stylistic and visually stunning, especially 'The Peach Orchard'. Kurosawa is a true genius, and without a doubt, the greatest film director of all time, and I can not wait to watch this film in fine DVD style!Movie Review: Dreams making me motionless
Summary: 5 Stars
This film transported me to an altogether different place - mystical & yet so real. It's a vignettte on what I call eight awakenings, eight stories interwoven so beautifully. The first one 'Sunshine through rain' is eclectic in it's imagnation & the last one 'Village of watermills' would be my ideal destination, & while I watched it, I was quite motionless.
This Kurosawa film is one of my most treasured ones.
