Leave your thoughts about Rhapsody in August.
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksIt's proof, as if anyone needed it, that at 82, Kurosawa still possesses all of his artistic filmmaking powers. |
| Georgia StraightMark HarrisRhapsody in August is an old man's film in the best possible sense. Though it stares death straight in the face, it is primarily interested in life. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIt is not one of his great films, but shows him thoughtfully trying to come to peace with the central event of his times. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA touching heartfelt film by the octogenarian legendary Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa. |
| Hartford CourantMalcolm JohnsonThere is little drama in all of this, but Kurosawa still knows how to set out a strong ending. |
| Classic Film and TelevisionMichael E. GrostAbsorbing pacifist drama, looks at the links between East and West. |
| Washington PostHal HinsonA delicately nuanced film about remembrance -- so delicate, perhaps, that it's not terribly memorable itself. |
| User ReviewAstrid TThis is such a beautiful film. I'm giving it the highest rating because everything is just right. No tweaking of any kind could have made it better, it's just a brilliant piece of art. |
| User ReviewJoel SEl Maestro ya estaba viejo, pero nunca perdió su tacto ni su visión. |
