A great movie - Ikura


We saw a great movie today - Ikura. Directed by my all time favorite Akira Kurosawa in 1952. A black and white movie with no stunning effect nor femme fatal. It's a movie about a simple man facing death, his emotional conflict, revelation, and transformation. Quite moving. The way Kurosawa shot this film reminds me of Citizen Kane, yet another classic.
