A good movie

My first contact with this movie was actually rather weird. Indeed, when I was a teenager, I used to smoke weed from time to time with my buddies and one of them would put this movie on when we were at his place. Back then, I had no idea who the hell was Akira Kurosawa and I thought it was just rather surrealist flick with some psychedelic qualities. Fast-forward a few years later, back then I was just discovering how great movies could be, Kurosawa was quickly becoming one of my all-time favorite directors so it was really time to re-watch the damned thing. Back then, it seems that this time Kurosawa wanted to make something more contemplative than his usual work and it partially worked. That’s always the same problem with this kind of movies with different segments, some of them were pretty good but some of them were not so impressive. Still, it was something quite original and it was visually pretty neat. To conclude, even though it was probably not one of the best movies delivered by Akira Kurosawa, I thought it was still a decent watch and I think it is worth a look, especially if you are interested in this great Japanese director.
