...you should know that the Japanese word for kaka is "un-ko", pronounced with long vowels. Hopefully, that won't apply to my recent Kurosawa recs., but it sure applies to "Wasabi"--a French/Japanese action 'comedy' starring Jean Reno.Speaking of Kurosawa, have you seen "Sanshiro Sugata"? Also known as "Judo Saga", it was required viewing for a young Judoka like me. It is similar in theme to the "Samurai Trilogy", with a physically strong but spiritually weak progatonist refining his life and soul through a martial art. However, it was made in WWII Japan and it does have hints of jingoism and military propaganda. But it isn't the total propaganda piece of un-ko that is its sequel, "Sanshiro Sugata, Part II", a film Kurosawa was forced to make by the government and probably his worst work.
