Plot
Eight episodes based on his own dreams.
Sinekatalog’s take
Kurosawa presents eight short episodes based on his own dreams, from a fox wedding to a Van Gogh painting world. Gentle, painterly and sometimes preachy, it is a personal late work.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
