3 stars out of 5 -- [U]nderneath there's still the love and regard for characters caught up in the plights of their lives; Kurosawa is one of the great humanists of cinema.

It was Kurosawa's first colour feature, and the trained painter in him couldn't resist extensive experimentation with lighting, design and make-up...

Product Description:
Akira Kurosawa's film is a sprawling social portrait of life in a Tokyo shantytown.
A colorful array of down and out characters populate a cluttered dumpsite, where every day becomes a another protracted struggle just to survive. Kurosawa skillfully intertwines a number of separate narratives into a moving panorama of tortured and suffering humanity.

Product Description:
By turns tragic and transcendent, Akira Kurosawa's Dodes'ka-den follows the daily lives of a group of people barely scraping by in a slum on the outskirts of Tokyo. Yet as desperate as their circumstances are, each of them--the homeless father and son envisioning their dream house; the young woman abused by her uncle; the boy who imagines himself a trolley conductor--finds reasons to carry on. Kurosawa's unforgettable film was made at a tumultuous moment in his life. And all of his hopes, fears, and artistic passion are on fervent display in this, his gloriously shot first color film.
