Speaking of Kurosawa

Vic,

Not one of my favorite Kurosawa films, but a good one if you can stay awake through some of the slower portions.

Over the weekend, while looking for used LPs I stumbled across a beat-up book about Japanese cinema. The forward was composed by Kurosawa and it covers the entire history of Japanese film from 1898 to 1959. Everything you wanted to know about the key and not-so-key Directors and Actors, the studios, movie theaters, cameras, war films, technique, music...

A very fascinating read and filled with stills from the various eras.

I'm starting to appreciate Stray Dog and Drunken Angel a lot more, after reading this book.
