Academy Award-winning director Akira Kurosawa ("The Seven Samurai," "Ran"), whose cinematic genius has inspired such classic films as "Star Wars" and "The Magnificent Seven," presents his 28th, and most personal, film. Visually splendid, Kurosawa's film consists of eight powerful vignettes, one of which features acclaimed director Martin Scorsese as painter Vincent Van Gogh. "Breathtaking... dazzling," says The New York Times.
A collection of magical tales based upon the actual dreams of director Akira Kurosawa.

Powerful, Beautiful, IntenseI highly recommend that you watch this on a screen big enough to actually enjoy the scope of the cinematography employed. The movie is still breathtaking on a smaller screen but it is stunning on something larger. Because it is subtitled, I recommend watching it more than once so you can get both the story and the visual presentation of the story. This is a movie I keep in my permanent collection. The stories are strong and, the one that touched me the most left an unanswered ending. I believe this is brilliant because it allows the viewer to make the movie their own, or more importantly to personally identify with it based on their experiences and nature. I cannot recommend this movie more..Score: 5/5
Akira Kurasawa's DreamsA beautiful movie--visually breathtaking in places, disturbing in other segments, very intriguing. Seeing Martin Scorsese as Van Gogh was a bit of a stretch (too much Scorsese, even with his ear lopped off), but a fascinating segment..Score: 4/5

Huge disappointmentI maybe expected too much. But got absolutely nothing. I expected cogent, beautiful, pieces of memory or commentary. But got only cliched, badly filmed, utterly boring dross. A few of the pieces have some artistic merit. But even those are badly marred. The "though" or "philosophy", expressed is mundane. Some of the pieces are visually ugly. An immense disappointment. I stopped watching after 5 "episodes"..Score: 1/5
Where are the rest of this directorKurosawa is one of the most important directors of the last centruy. Why aren't the rest of his films on itunes? The movie RAN is fabulous. So are the Samurai movies. Dreams is a series of short films starting with the directors babyhood and moving to old age. For those who did not like this format try RAN..Score: 5/5

A Truly Beautliful FilmDreams is a remarkable work. It is one of my favorite Kurosawa film. The vignettes are little morality tales--dreams for our time. Buy it, rent it, but do not pass up this experience..Score: 4/5
Interesting, however......I can't find any of the other classics like Yojimbo and Sanjuro. Is there any way that they could be uploaded?.Score: 4/5

Exquisite, Profound, Visual PoetryI LOVE this film!! This is a rare gem. If you have any interest in dreams, Japanese culture or artisitc mastery, this movie is not to be missed.. Though it is not at all a 'normal' movie. It is a collection of dreams/vignettes/short stories. It is visually stunning, poetic, emotionallly hauting and meditatively profound all at once. Very special and impressive!.Score: 5/5
A visual feastI wouldn't say this is one of Kurosawa's best films, but I love it. It's really 8 short films based on dreams that Kurosawa had at various stages of his life. The films themselves are not that great. They are often deliberately sketchy reaching no resolution, and are often a bit trite and preachy in an overly sentimental fashion. What I love about this film is it's visual style. Kurosawa has resources to work with here (ILM worked on the effects), but he clearly does not have Hollywood blockbuster dough. The effects that are achieved have a beautiful, slightly lo-fi dreamy quality to them. The entire film is a visual feast, and I love watching it, even when I'm not terribly engaged in the plot of any given segment. Martin Scorsese cameos as Vincent Van Gogh ... very appropriate casting..Score: 5/5
