      John A. Nesbit Old School Reviews Adam Low's documentary isn't the smooth flowing professional film you'd expect about such a consummate artist, but anyone who appreciates Kurosawa will find plenty to enjoy Rated: C+ Sep 1, 2002 Full Review Walter Chaw Film Freak Central A collection of mildly interesting vignettes about legendary filmmaker Akira Kurosawa that lacks cohesion in a way the master's films never did. Rated: 1.5/4 May 30, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews
