Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams – Criterion UHD Blu-ray Review (1 Viewer)

[t1g3r5fan]

Lets look at Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams. Though he initially trained to be a painter, Akira Kurosawa made the shift to film in the mid-1930’s and by the start of the 1940’s, he had made the leap from assistant director and screenwriter to director in his native Japan. This was the start of a legendary filmmaking career that saw him make classics like Rashomon (1950), Ikiru (1952), Seven Samurai (1954), Yojimbo (1961), High and Low (1963), Kagemusha (1980) and Ran (1985), just to name a few off the bat; by 1990, he had been awarded an Honorary Oscar for his overall body of work, but he wasn’t finished just yet. That year – which commenced his seventh and final decade in film – saw him deliver one of his best late career works, Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams. Originally released on DVD by Warner Bros. and on Blu-ray by the Criterion Collection, the latter has given the film its UHD Blu-ray debut.
