Akira Kurosawa?s YUME (Dreams) -1990

Date of Review:  Apr 6, 2003
The Bottom Line: This is another Kurosawa masterpiece, for those of you who appreciate his genius. A beautiful, beautiful film!
Review: This is one of those movies that becomes unforgettable the minute you experience it. It is stunningly beautiful, each segment a perfect example of the great things you can do with a camera if you happen to be born an artist and a film maker, a...

Akira Kurosawa's Dreams are nightmares for viewers

Date of Review:  Jun 11, 2008
The Bottom Line: had a dream where he went to hell with Batman and Robin. Satan killed him. Then he killed Batman. Then he killed Robin (true story).
Review: How do you produce a worthwhile vanity project? Transform it into anti-vanity-project. Unfortunately, all sides of Akira Kurosawa's Dreams -- the title, the product description, the actual film -- the word "vanity project" screams its own name. This...

Poetry in Motion

Date of Review:  Oct 2, 2004
The Bottom Line: Not to be missed.
Review: Messages are aplenty in Akira Kurosawa's Dreams [1990]. The movie consists of eight episodes, or dreams, with themes ranging from environment conservation to the humane side of war, the dangers of nuclear power and the ill-effects of nuclear...

Date of Review:  Nov 24, 2000
Review: Sorry for the hiatus. New place and all. Thanks to everyone for kickin' it in the meaningtime.

Akira Kurosawa's "Dreams" is one of the last films that the Grand Old Man ever did. He was a dedicated, visionary human dynamo...and yet managed...

Every man's Dreams

Date of Review:  Dec 16, 2005
The Bottom Line: It doesn't have to be one man's dream alone!
Review: Akira Kurosawa stays firmly rooted to the position of favorite filmmaker for various reasons. Often it is his cinematic genius and the symbolism prevalent in his films. But most importantly, his films work because they transcend geographical...

Kurosawa can do anything.

Date of Review:  Feb 22, 2005
The Bottom Line: See this movie if you love Kurosawa and you love films, but don't if you loved i,Robot.
Review: By the time Akira Kurosawa made Dreams at the age of 79, he had revolutionized the samurai film and directed some of the best movies ever made during a career that spanned several decades. I was introduced to Kurosawa through his violent epics,...

Dreams: Like Walking Through a Painting

Date of Review:  May 6, 2002
The Bottom Line: A truly beautiful movie that is impossible to describe in words. However, not everyone will enjoy it. It is very avant-garde. Still, worth seeing at least once.
Review: Dreams (1990) was one of Akira Kurosawa?s last great films before his death in 1998. Although some consider this film a disappointment, it is truly a visual masterpiece that, in my opinion, is unequaled. Dreams is broken into eight independent...

Kurosawa's Unconscious Wisdom

Date of Review:  Feb 17, 2000
Review: "Dreams" is Akira Kurosawa's final film in a long line of critically acclaimed and influential films. Martin Scorcese has a cameo as Vincent van Gogh. It is composed of 8 vignettes on different themes, from the destruction of nature to nuclear...

Greatest

Date of Review:  Nov 9, 2003
Review:
To me Dreams is one of the best films I have ever seen.

Some people might say it is slow, but those people probably also think that the point of media is to get excited in a superficial way like eating a pound of sugar or 12 jelly...

It is that ! ! !

Date of Review:  Mar 1, 2000
Review: If you permit yourself to place aside conventional ideas about what a movie should be, this is a great movie. The surreal nature of the brief series of eight "dreams" are engaging. Though some are more than others. The opening Fox Wedding is a good...
