Akira Kurosawa's Dreams | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

For all its expensive production values, simplicity of emotion seems to be the keynote -- as it was in Shakespeare's last plays.

Dreams might be minor Kurosawa, but it's still a fascinating achievement.

Dreams should be seen for the exercise that it gives the imagination, not for its thumping didactic content.

Rarely in cinema has the raw personal and symbolic power of dreaming been so effectively captured as in Akira Kurosawa's 1990 feature ... Kurosawa's late film beautifully evokes the short and often baffling nature of dreaming.

while not necessarily among Kurosawa's best, is still a remarkable achievement that draws you deep into its fantastical world; even the least effective bits still work in their own way
