Show Notes

Before his passing in 1998, cinema legend Akira Kurosawa directed three fascinating films that brought his extensive career to a close. It’s time to talk about THE TWILIGHT OF KUROSAWA. Joined by OT vet and avid Kurosawa fan Matt Hurt (The Obsessive Viewer), Logan & Andy dive into the director’s final three films: Dreams (1990), Rhapsody in August (1991), and Madadayo (1993).

How does Kurosawa proceed as a filmmaker after his monumental 1985 epic Ran? How does Kurosawa’s connection to iconic director Ishirō Honda factor into these final films? Also, how much does Matt love Richard Gere? Find out on this vibrant new episode of ODD TRILOGIES!
