Joaquin U @Joaquin1 5 days ago Entertaining, no doubt. A short film by necessity, since there wasn't much film stock available due to the war; it's a funny one with the kind of adventure backdrop Kurosawa was so fond of. The cast is good. The script is interesting, though not as solid as his later efforts. The direction is good, but not masterful yet. A minor film, but still an enjoyable one.

There's not a whole lot here but it's short and worth a watch if you're a fan of his later stuff.

It can be interesting as a stepping stone taken by Kurosawa on his way to later, better films. See more Christopher B @Ikari777 Aug 25, 2022 A tense and well acted, with some hilarious facial expressions to boot, early piece by the legendary Akira Kurosawa. While it may lack action or traditional sword fighting, its poignant and wonderfully done for such a short film. Recommended! This is a good place to start in Kurosawa's filmography so you can gain an understanding for what will become his trademark style. See more Jan 3, 2020 What is happening? Nobody knows. But that's what's fun about it. There is little action. The suspense is subtle, but powerful. See more Nov 19, 2018 This film was solid. See more Read all reviews
