8/10
The second of the two Kurosawa films showing I had yet to see (Yojimbo and Seven Samurai were the other two), this one was pretty different from the others on the program. I wasn't sure how much I was going to enjoy it but I got into it. The happy/uplifting ending felt a little tacked on...up to that point the movie was crushingly depressing and I wouldn't have been surprised maybe there was some studio meddling to add the bit about the baby to lighten things up. I'm choosing to ignore it and focusing on how good the rest of the film was.
