I strongly revere Akira Kurosawa for how he did Ryūnosuke Akutagawa’s work with justice and tact. It’s beyond impressive because I read Akutagawa’s work first and he was firstly extraordinary and legendary. I have to say, this film does deserve the hype it gets. This may sound cliché but yes the film is a masterpiece; it is, really. There is a lot to say about this iconic film directed by Kurosawa as the ambiguity, strangeness, action, interactions, dialogue, and imagery has been executed well to show the audience watching it enticed and interested in the film. As I said before, this film can get a lot of praise because how many good things are from this movie. Overall, a masterpiece.
