Rhapsody in August Summary Academy AwardÂ(r) Winner* Akira Kurosawa (the Seven Samurai) Delivers 'the Most Intimate Drama Of His Career (los Angeles Times), A Stunning Epic That Is As Visually Tantalizing As It Is Emotionally Touching. Set In The Gorgeous Countryside Surrounding Nagasaki And Starring Sachiko Murase, Hidetaka Yoshioka And Golden GlobeÂ(r) Winner Richard Gere, This Endearing Saga Follows A Japanese Family Once Torn Apart By War And Now Facing Personal Demons Brought On By Contact With American Cousins Lost Long Ago. Sachiko Murase Is Stunning As The Aging Matriarchof A Nagasaki Family That Has Long Lived With A Legacy Of Horror Brought On By Wwii. But When An Older Brother She Never Knew She Had Resurfacesalong With His Japanese-american Descendantsshe Must Come To Terms With Her Most Deeply Held Feelings About America And Her Haunted Past. *1989: Honorary Award

The final film released in the U.S. by Japanese master Akira Kurosawa looks at the atomic blast at Nagasaki from a distance of more than 40 years, through the eyes of a woman who survived it--and the grandchildren who are spending the summer with her. Though she tries not to think about it, the memory of the bombing is with her every day, in the family she lost and the scars she still carries. But the grandchildren insist on seeing the memorial, which brings it home to her once again--and to us. Though sometimes slow going (and what is Richard Gere doing in this movie, as her Amer-Asian nephew?), Rhapsody in August is a story about family and about living in the present while never being allowed to forget the past. --Marshall Fine
