Terse and taut cinematography and plot are the fundamental idiosyncrasies of Kurosawa's last two films. Indeed, this old man was trying to tell the world that his clunky morality.

It can be the most sterile composition in any of Kurosawa's films the another is Madadayo, this old film emperor is tired, he needs some topics some films that laconic not as dark as his previous Shakespeare modification works.

However we can still perceive this master's striking composition from the two girls chasing this "River child", the everything is immaculately achieved by Kurosawa's engorged bravura technique.

The whole film tends to be a condemnation to US A-bomb dropped in the Hiroshima, but the performance of this bound American is ponderous. Though the lighting scene that grandma hides her children in the white blanket has been rehearsed plenty of times according to the documentary footage, but the effect is still resentfully idle, doll-like, tedious.

However, the ending really hits me, and the eye which made me recall the Dziga Vertov, and with Kurosawa's last attempt of surrealism is impressive. It's not a bad film, but to Kurosawa, the whole film is gaudy, and it seems to use the ending to save it all, but it's futile, (it's striking, indeed.)
