Review Wanted: Red Beard (Criterion Collection)
I've seen most of Kurosawa's films that are available, but I have not seen Red Beard. Recently I saw it at the store, and was very tempted to get it, although it had a 40 dollar price tag! I know I can't go wrong with Kurosawa, he is my favorite director of all time. But, I was wondering what your thoughts of the movie was.

If Kurosawa is your favorite then Red Beard is a must buy.
Shop around though. You should be able to pick it up for at least $30.00.
There is allot of lessons in this movie and it is very long. Basically it consists of tales of tragedy and dealing with it. As long as you do not expect a samurai movie then you will love it. It is now one of my favorite Kurosawa films. I got more involved with the characters than other Kurosawa films. Even as long as the movie was I wanted it to keep going to learn more about how there lives continued. Keep in mind when you watch it that they build the entire city for the movie.
Besides, any Kurosawa film with to Criterion treatment is a must have.
