Inspirational. Well worth the effort of reading subtitles

It is near impossible to get the image of Shimura sitting on the swingset out of your head after the film's conclusion. The DVD cover does not do the scene justice: the snow, the song, the rhythm of the swing, it is pure poetry.

Very powerfull movie. Yet another masterpiece by kurosawa-

Riccardo P 16 Nov 2007

this is one of the great movies by akira kurosawa. it's a very rich movie: it's about living a full life before time is up, it's about loneliness and messup up family relations, it's about parasitic bureaucrats who are unfailingly lazy and yet are always ready to claim credit for someone else's work. it's as good as de sica' umberto d.
