I know it is supposed to be a big deal, but just did not have the patience to watch it. submitted by Tassos on January 20, 2019, 7:50am I know it is supposed to be a big deal, but just did not have the patience to finish it.
Masterpiece

This is the film that opened the doors to the American market for foreign films. Kurosawa’s camerawork and use of sound is stunning. The story is told four times, each by a different character, but each time differently than the others. That’s the key to the theme of the subjective experience of Truth.
One of my top five films.
SERIES
Essential art house.
