This 1951 film directed by Akira Kurosawa stars Setsuko Hara, Masayuki Mori and Toshiro Mifune. An early paean to Kurosawa's favorite writer, Fyodor Dostoevesky, the film is an expressionist tour-de-force, resetting in postwar Japan the Russian tale of the "holy fool," a prince whose simple goodness sparks envy in a friend who rivals him for a woman's love.
