Dodes'ka-den

It's both heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time, but Akira Kurosawa's film is about people who are living in a slum outside of Tokyo. It doesn't matter how bad their situation is; each of them has a reason to keep going. For example, the homeless father and son picture their dream house; the young woman who was abused by her uncle; and the boy who dreams of being a trolley conductor. The Dodes'ka-den was made at a time when Kurosawa was going through a lot. This is the first color film that he made, and it's full of all of his hopes and fears and artistic passion.
