Dreams

Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams is made up of eight segments — each one a visual rendering of a dream drawn from the director’s subconscious.
The film doesn’t follow a single narrative, but takes an episodic approach, tracking a “surrogate Kurosawa” through eight titled dreams.

It touches on themes like childhood, spirituality, art, death, and the mistakes and transgressions humans have made against nature.

With poetic visuals and meditative pacing, Dreams invites us into a hidden world where reality and the unconscious intertwine.
