Loved "Madadayo." I don't think I've seen another film in which Japanese men have exuded so much emotion, love, enthusiasm, and joy. That Asian reserve went right out the window with this film (observe how inconsolable the Professor was at the loss of his cat). Maybe it was all that beer. Kurosawa also got in a few thinly disguised shots at Japanese bureaucrats in those song verses. If it's Tuesday, who's the Prime Minister?Really enjoyed Rurouni Kenshin ("Trust" and "Betrayal"), very tragic and classy. Thanks for the rec. Are the subsequent episodes as good as these first two? And what is "Rurouni Kenshin: The Movie"? "Trust" and "Betrayal" together?
"Kwaidan" is a true classic and I used to get scared to death watching it as a kid when it showed up on public television (KCET: Los Angeles). Interesting that it was based on Lefcadio Hearn's writings. The Snow Maiden reminded me of the one in "Akira Kurosawa's Dreams." My favorite was the monk losing his "unprotected" body part to the spirits (I won't give away which part to Asylum Inmates).
