I could ramble on about my love for Kurosawa and why I think his films are masterpieces that deal with social issues in an unfeigned manor, but I think the simple answer is focus.
Certain filmmaker’s, like Kurosawa, have a clarity of vision and raw focus that just enraptures the viewer. Even his late films like
Madadayo have that unwavering focus that effortlessly reveals the truth of the subject.
If you’ve seen most of his more well-known films, give these a look.
• Throne of Blood (may be my favorite in terms of aesthetics)
• Dreams
• Kagemusha
• High and Low
• Stray Dog
I’m not sure what I just said… but I think it’s right.
