DODES'KA-DEN (1970) C 140m dir: Akira Kurosawa

w/Yoshitaka Zushi, Kin Sugai, Kazuo Kato, Tomoko Yamazaki

This strange, demanding Kurosawa film picks up fragments in the lives of the residents of a Tokyo slum, but we're never fully engaged with these stories. We are left to admire the director's daring, rather than his accomplishment.
