| User ReviewJoe HDecent Doc on a master of cinema. If you haven't seen this the you'll be surprised how many American films were copied from his. |
| User ReviewSteven GAkira Kurosawa maybe obscured from western world movie lovers, however his influences and his way of storytelling has been inspired so many in Hollywood. This documentary, by his friends and people inspired by him, is a great introduction to the man. One of a great director of all time. |
