This is essentially eight separate short films, though with some
overlaps in terms of characters and thematic material - chiefly that of
man's relationship with his environment. 'Sunshine Through The Rain': a
young boy is told not to go out on the day when both weather conditions
occur, because that's when the foxes hold their wedding procession,
which could have fatal consequences for those who witness it. 'The Peach
Orchard': the same young boy encounters the spirits of the peach trees
that have been cut down by heartless humans. 'The Blizzard': a team of
mountaineers are saved from a blizzard by spiritual intervention. 'The
Tunnel': a man encounters the ghosts of an army platoon, whose deaths he
was responsible for. 'Crows': an art student encounters Vincent Van Gogh
and enters the world of his paintings. 'Mount Fuji in Red': nuclear
meltdown threatens the devastation of Japan. 'The Weeping Demon': a
portrait of a post-nuclear world populated by human mutations. 'Village
of the Watermills': a sunny portrait of a village whose population is
entirely at one with nature.

Written and Directed by Akira Kurosawa

PROPER NOTES: Previous release had a resolution of 640x384 (1.667:1)
which is 8.9% error from the DVD's aspect ratio (1.828) and the result
is tall, skinny things. Here is a rip with 0.5% AR error. Enjoy
