a series of short films by akira kurosawa these shorts try really hard to get into extremes of human emotion and situations. they fall short. there are different situations on each short in different settings with different characters, but it amounts to a good way to waste some time. I won't go into the plots of each section. if you're really interested, go watch it yourself.
the audio was either chinese, japanese, or some other language from that area of the world. the video was absolutely flawless. it was a very pretty waste of time.
as you can tell, I didn't really like this. I didn't think it was horrible, but it lacks a lot of positive qualities. if I were going on just the video, this film would be great. unfortunately for akira, plot and other film elements enter the equation. if you're surfing art films on wikipedia and just HAVE TO watch every movie mentioned, go ahead. otherwise, skip it.
