COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Great huge movie. You can't go wrong with ANY of the Great Kurosawa's movies. submitted by Tassos on January 12, 2019, 8:56am the Great Kurosawa never disappoints. This is a GREAT three hour movie that can be easily seen by everybody, not just snobbish critics or intellectuals. Of course, different viewers will see and understand different things, those who see it for just the action sequences will gain little by it.

Also see the UNBELIEVABLY GOOD "Dreams' by the same great director. I borrowed it also from this library.
