Akira Kurosawa's Dreams Summary One Of The Most Visionary, Deeply Personal Works In The 60-year Career Of The Master Behind Rashomon, The Seven Samurai And Ran. Featuring Eight Episodes Rich In Imagery And Insight (and Casting Martin Scorsese As A Feisty Vincent Van Gogh), It Explores The Costs Of War, The Perils Of Nuclear Power And Especially Humankind's Need To Harmonize With Nature. You Will Be Enchanted ... And Enthralled.

Produced with assistance from George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, Dreams is an omnibus of eight short stories and parables that spell enchantment at every turn. The opening story, "Sun Under the Rain," emerges from director Akira Kurosawa's personal memories, as a child (whose house is modeled after Kurosawa's childhood home in Koishikawa) witnesses a fox's wedding ceremony in a magical forest. The Garden of Eden motif continues in "The Peach Orchard," while Lucas's ILM special effects group shines in the glorious "Crows" segment, in which an art admirer finds himself living within the paintings of Van Gogh (played with concentrated energy by Kurosawa enthusiast Martin Scorsese). In the idyllic closing fable, "The Village of the Watermills," a centenarian claims that "people nowadays have forgotten that they are also part of nature." The equally wise Kurosawa reinforces the old man's claim through these vivid but ultimately life-affirming tableaux. --Kevin Mulhall
