Viewing Notes

Sixth and final movie for my Thanksgiving Kurosawa project. Damn. I really like this movie. Great comedy bits interspersed with serious drama. Great performance by Denjirô Ôkôchi. Only an hour long, Kurosawa should have done more compact taunt films like this. Super ending to my project!
