Dreams
1990 · 119 min
Directed by Akira Kurosawa, Ishirō Honda. Written by Akira Kurosawa. Starring Akira Terao, Mitsuko Baisho, Toshie Negishi, Mieko Harada.
Eight visually rich vignettes drawn from Kurosawa’s own dreams—fox weddings and vanished orchards, a soldier’s ghosts, a walk through Van Gogh’s canvases, nuclear nightmares, and a water-mill utopia—meditate on childhood, art, mortality, and humanity’s uneasy bond with nature.
