"Dodes 'Ka-Den"
1970
Directed by Akira Kurosawa

Unforgettable: Kurosawa's blending of fantasy and reality in the story of a group of Tokyo slum dwellers who, cheated by life, survive on illusion and imagination. A passionate affirmation of life, beautifully photographed. The title of the film comes from the sound of the trolleys. Japanese with English subtitles. 140 minutes.
