I have not seen any other of Kurosawa's movies, so I comment on this film from that perspective. This movie is wonderful, one of my favourite movies. It doesn't try to follow the typical movie routine... it is far different to what most viewers would be used to. To enjoy it you have to realise that nothing is really going to happen - this film is simply made to be enjoyed.
I would however like to complain about the TERRIBLE treatment this film has been given on DVD. Both the Hong Kong and US releases are awful quality. There is a good Japanese DVD, but it has no English subtitles. Come one someone, release the remastered version please!
