dir. Akira Kurosawa
StudioCanal's A-Tier 4K has people asking when Criterion or someone else will do the definitive release. The 35mm theatrical screenings keep fueling demand for Kurosawa in the best possible presentation.

Eight visually rich vignettes drawn from Kurosawa’s own dreams—fox weddings and vanished orchards, a soldier’s ghosts, a walk through Van Gogh’s canvases, nuclear nightmares, and a water-mill utopia—meditate on childhood, art, mortality, and humanity’s uneasy bond with nature.
