The Human Condition, Hari Kiri, Yojimbo, Ran, High and Low, The Face of Another, When a Woman Ascends the Stairs, Kill!, The Tale of the Princess Kaguya, Sword of Doom, The Inheritance, Love Under the Crucifix, Kagemusha … just an endless list of incredible movies.

I’ve just finished this. It’s utterly remarkable. It is mythology, sci-fi, satire and prophecy, all executed with an absolutely blinding turn of phrase. Gorgeous and terrifying.
