Description: Further DetailsTitle: Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams (The Criterion Collection)Condition: NewFormat: 4K UHD Blu-rayDescription: Unfolding in a series of eight mythic vignettes, this late work by Akira Kurosawa was inspired by the beloved director’s own nighttime visions, along with stories from Japanese folklore. In a visually sumptuous journey through the master’s imagination, tales of childlike wonder give way to apocalyptic apparitions: a young boy stumbles on a fox wedding in a forest; a soldier confronts the ghosts of the war dead; a power-plant meltdown smothers a seaside landscape in radioactive fumes. Interspersed with reflections on the redemptive power of creation, including a richly textured tribute to Vincent van Gogh (who is played by Martin Scorsese), Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams is both a showcase for its maker’s artistry at its most unbridled and a deeply personal lament for a world at the mercy of human ignorance. 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES * 4K digital restoration, supervised by cinematographer Shoji Ueda, with 2.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack * One 4K UHD disc of the film presented in HDR and one Blu-ray with the film and special features * Audio commentary featuring film scholar Stephen Prince * Feature-length documentary from 1990 shot on set and directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi * Interviews with production manager Teruyo Nogami and assistant director Takashi Koizumi * Documentary from 2011 by director Akira Kurosawa’s longtime translator Catherine Cadou, featuring interviews with filmmakers Bernardo Bertolucci, Alejandro G.
