Summary
  • A handsome, suave Toshiro Mifune lights up the screen as painter, Ichiro. His circumstantial meeting with singer Miyako is photographed by a paparazzo and he is wrongly accused by a tabloid of having an affair. Ichiro files a lawsuit against the magazine but his lawyer is playing both sides---A portrait of cultural moral decline and the abuse of freedom of speech, a compelling courtroom drama and a moving tale of human redemption
  • 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
