- Summary
-
- Childlike ex-POW Kameda returns home after the war, only to become trapped in an existential love quadragle. This adaptation of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's nineteenth-century masterpiece about a wayward, pure soul's reintegration into society is updated by Kurosawa to capture Japan's postwar aimlessness. The film was a victim of studio interference which resulted in public indifference. Today, the film looks more fascinating---a stylish, otherworldly evocation of one man's wintry mindscape
- Postwar Kirosawa: Akira Kurosawa came into his own as a filmmaker directly following World War II, delving into the state of his devastated nation with a series of pensive, topical dramas. Amid Japan's economic collapse and U.S. occupation, Kurosawa managed to find humor and redemption alongside despair and anxiety. In these five early films, which range from political epic to Capraesque whimsy to courtroom potboiler, Kurosawa revealed the artistic range and social acuity that would mark his career and make him the most popular Japanese director in the world
