Kurosawa-marathon and some short, crass commentary:
Drunken Angel - Excellent, but a bit unsatisfactory. Mifune should have received an ever bigger part, perhaps.
Seven Samurai - Absolute masterpiece, I've seen it before but I'm still at loss for words. One thought: The battle scenes are more realistic and maybe even more dramatic than anything I've seen coming out in the last twenty years.
Rashômon - Very beautifully made and Mifune is insanely good, but the obvious misogyny bothered me a bit too much.
Then I watched Tokyo Story. Very, very powerful, in a way I can't really explain. I didn't cry but dang if my heart didn't ache at the end.
I need to watch something really stupid and light now to get some perspective I think.
