Akira Kurosawa's Dreams (1990)

Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams

“The thread that ties together the eight vignettes in Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams is his cinematic surrogate, often wearing his trademark hat. Like any anthology film, Dreams is only as good as any individual segment. While others sparked my engagement more, the ending results is still like that of Kurosawa making eight different arty short films and gifting us with the wide range of his imagination.   This surrogate is often as passive witness to the actions, and only occasionally an active participant.
