This movie is very neat and tight visually. Looking back Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s other movies are also this way, but I haven’t really fully processed that until now. A lot of times directors will shift their visual styles, either slowly over time or instantly to fit the movie. But Kurosawa hasn’t so far with what I’ve seen. Everything is meticulously intentional.
The premise is laid out very early, and I was worried that the movie would take the usual approach with a story like this, but it didn’t. I guess I shouldn’t question the GOAT of all time.
