No one was more closely involved in Kurosawa's productions, and in this memoir, charmingly illustrated with her own sketches, Nogami writes candidly about the director's energy, creativity, and...

What do you think you might do now, eh?’ his father demanded. ‘Perhaps you should go down to the fish market and get a labourer’s job, carrying fish. Maybe go and join the Defence Force as a common soldier. Have you considered garbage collection? No? Maybe you should! These are the sort of options for people who are unfortunately too poor to get a good education; also for those individuals too lazy to study.’ Kurosawa senior paused for breath...

Based on Dostoyevky's The Idiot, Akira Kurosawa translates his favourite author's tale of love and murder to the snowy northern Japanese island of Hokkaido. Kameda, mentally fragile and unable to lie, returns home, meeting Akama (Mifune) on the train. They become involved with the brash, betrothed former concubine Taeko (Hara) and the innocent Ayoko, leading to an intricate, complicated and ultimately tragic web of love, hate and human frailty.

Legendary Japanese director Akira Kurosawa's last film is a homage to the man who inspired him. Warm, sentimental and rousing, MAADADAYO means not "not yet" in English, and tells the story of a retired teacher with a renowned lust for life, and the devoted students who maintain contact with him.

Six all-time classic films available together for the first time. Showcasing six of the most important and influential cinema movements of the 20th Century, from Russian constructivism, American slapstick and German Expressionism, to the Japanese Jidai-geki, or period film, Italian neo-realism and the French new wave, this box set will explain everything you wanted to know about cinema, but were afraid to ask.

Early Kurosawa feature about a man, Yuzo, and his fiance, Masako, who want to spend an enjoyable afternoon out, even though it is cold and rainy and they have very little money. Feeling all but defeated after a number of failed attempts at leisure, Yuzo turns to conducting an imaginary orchestra, to little avail. Stylistically daring, with the seeds of Kurosawa's later work evident, this was his first and only foray into shomin-geki, the 1930s-40s Japanese drama of the common man.
