The biggest sleeper Kurosawa did
30 March 2006
I tried three times to watch this, but never succeeded to pass the 40 minutes mark. It is a Kurosawa movie, I know, but for all that I adore his movies this is so dry I just couldn't take it. Probably it is good if you're interested in the subject of corporate corruption (I am) and can understand all the underlying gradations(?). For all non-Japanese however, this is so slow and boring you'll start thinking about watering the plants.

And I didn't like to hear Wagner in a Japanese movie, but that's my problem. I know he was accused for being too westernized in his time. Here I think they were right.
