YesAsia Editorial Description
A young boy surreptitiously watches a fox spirit wedding procession in a forest on a sunny rainy day. Dolls come alive in a treeless peach orchard. A mysterious woman appears to a group of mountaineers caught in an unforgiving blizzard. An army officer encounters the ghosts of his past in a seemingly endless dark tunnel. An art student travels through a world made up of Van Gogh's works, encountering the artist (played by Martin Scorceses) in a field. The sky turns bloody red after a nuclear power plant meltdown, and five people stay behind as everyone flees for the ocean. A man encounters a demon-like man while drifting in a wasted post-apocalyptic land. A young traveler comes to a quiet, idyllic village where the people have decided to return to simpler times to reverse the damage caused by modern technology. Though eight separate stories, the themes and imagery painted in the shorts weave together into a message-laden whole.

Product Information
スピルバーグとルーカスを製作協力に迎えて贈る、黒澤明監督第28作目のオムニバス・ファンタジー! スティーブン・スピルバーグ&ジョージ・ルーカスを製作協力に迎え、"世界のクロサワ"が放つオムニバス作品。黒澤監督自身が見た夢を映像化したという8つの物語は、幻想的なものから残酷で現実的なものまで様々な内容に彩られており、その各々が深遠なテーマを抱えているかのようだ。さらに全篇を通して貫かれる絵画的映像美は巨匠・クロサワならではの見事さ。彼が追い求めたヒューマニズムの集大成とでも言うべき芸術作品となっている。CGを担当したのは「スターウォーズ」シリーズのILM。また、第5話「鴉」では「グッドフェローズ」のマーティン・スコセッシ監督が出演して話題を呼んだ。

This customer review refers to Akira Kurosawa's Dreams
| "Akira Kurosawa's Dreams" is a collection of short subjects or 'dreams', all of which are visually arresting. My favorites are the first two. The first involves a young boy who gets an unauthorized glimpse of a wedding procession of fox spirits. The second shows the same boy witnessing a dance of peach tree spirits. Both of these stories draw strength from their roots in Japanese folklore. The second half of the film is much less successful, as it presents a series of "dreams" that rather clumsily retail a brand of anti-technology, back-to-nature environmentalism. All in all, "Dreams" is well worth watching, but a bit of a disappointment after its great start. |

|
Kurosawa's second-to-last film is almost like a short story collection, covering subject matters that range from apocalypic and haunting to wonderfully imaginative. The favorite seems to be his playful mini-biography of Vincent Van Gogh, giving the artist a chance to walk through a landscape of his own visual creations. But the most memorable is a simple Japanese ghost story, a period piece that tells of a child destined to become a changeling. Kurosawa has never shown his visual flair to such advantage. While interest does vary from one story to the next, there's always the feeling that you're in the hands of a filmmaker able to tell a story from any time or genre. |
