User Review - 10/10 by Private UHas one of best beginnings and endings to film ever. This cryptic piece boggles any Western mind, and I only hope to understand it before I die. Filmbuff? SEE THIS FILM.
User Review - 10/10 by David NI consider this movie the most complete illustration of the non-dual realization and it is my favorite movie.
User Review - 10/10 by Jochen Wseltsam, enigmatisch, halluzinatorisch. nicht in worte zu fassen, nicht mehr loslassend, und wohl kurosawas meisterwerk.
User Review - 10/10 by Karlo Mone of the best films i've seen lately. bizarre and a bit fragmented--it keeps you guessing where he is going with this movie... beautiful cinematography...maybe not for those who don't watch foreign films very often, though.
User Review - 10/10 by Michael FWho the fuck knows what the man's driving at; it juxtaposes nature and society, meaning with nothing, scientific fact with romantic fiction, the individual and the whole, good and evil, right and wrong, dualities galore dueling and goring to whore out all talks of pertinacity to all walks of life. What's in a man? What's in a tree? What's in politics? What's in spirituality? What's in man? What's in nature? What's in the rules of the world? Did they ever leave at all? Who the fuck knows what the man's driving at? We can bounce pretentions at every on and every where but knowledge is knowing that one cannot know. All I can figure is this film feels like "home" to me, and its an enjoyable, prodding watch over painfully prodding people and the wassernixen and WaterNixons they despise and inspire.
User Review - 10/10 by Garth Decological and psychological anxiety all wrapped into a semi-surreal man vs. his sense of meaninglessness drama set in some bizarro japanese countryside. everybody put your Kafka gardening pants on.
User Review - 10/10 by BellaRay ?"I found another Charisma." Hilarious!
User Review - 10/10 by Scot B"rule of the world"==>_<==>@@@@broken
User Review - 8/10 by Sarah Fas a story, even the director admits that it's a failure,a dnthe due to budget restirctions and nosy production execs that it strayed from his dream. it's still decent and compelling, but the alagory is sometimes confusing, somethimes illogical, and never reallyshows what it's tryng to say. perhaps thats the nature of it's existential theme, but not many people will see that. HOWEVER!!!! if it were a collection of photography, it would be fucking fanastic. kiyoshi has an amazing and impartial style that is layered is a fabulous way. he uses the locations brilliantly, coreographs his actors very well, and uses so many visual paths through motion on the screen your eyes want to just wander and drink in the lush tapisry that he has created. that alone makes this movie worth seeing.
User Review - 8/10 by Jeremy WKiyoshi Kurosawa committed this film to celluloid long before environmental disaster was a burgeoning field of interest to the general public (it was written in the late 80's). This film exemplifies the existential questioning we all endure and provides cryptic answers that lie within the forest. Because of this, the ending of this movie left me feeling cold--very, very cold.
