Sinopsis
(All Movie Guide)
Following up on his critically acclaimed,
blood-splattered epic
Ran, master
director
Akira
Kurosawa looks inward with this collection of eight brightly colored
dreams. The first section centers on a young boy (Mitsunori
Izaki), who witnesses a forest wedding procession of fox spirits in spite
of his mother's (Mitsuko
Baisho) warning. The second section concerns the same lad who converses
with peach-tree spirits after the trees have been cruelly cut down. This is
followed by a party of mountain climbers struggling to make it back to base
camp in the midst of a terrible blizzard. The fourth dream deals with a man (Akira
Terao) — a
Kurosawa
stand-in complete with the director's trademark floppy white hat — who
encounters ghosts of Japan's militaristic past in a forlorn tunnel. In the
following dream, the same man ventures into a
Van Gogh
painting called The Crows and meets the artist himself (Martin
Scorcese). The sixth and seventh dreams venture into nightmare territory —
one deals with a nuclear meltdown that threatens Japan while the other
concerns post-nuclear mutants. In the final dream,
Kurosawa
meets a 103-year-old man (played by
Ozu regular
Chishu Ryu)
in a utopian rural village.
