One of the most visionary, deeply personal works in the 60-year career of the master behind Rashomon, The Seven Samurai and Ran. Featuring eight episodes rich in imagery and insight (and casting MARTIN SCORSESE as a feisty Vincent Van Gogh), it explores the costs of war, the perils of nuclear power and especially humankind's need to harmonize with nature. You will be enchanted ... and enthralled. MPAA Rating: PG (c) 1990 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. All Rights Reserved.

If you're accustomed to Kurosawa's greater works during 50's, you'll be disappointed in Dreams. The introduction of vivid colors somehow take away the story telling aspect that was so appealing in his earlier works. Much like how great the original Twilight Zone is compared to the new(er) series made in the 1980's in color. It just wasn't the same.

Lovely surrealistic journey that requires multiple viewings to truly appreciate. There are many symbolic instances from this film that are deeply meaningful to me in a very spiritual way, moments that have helped to define my own perspectives and that I'll keep close to my heart for the rest of my life. I am lucky to have stumbled upon this at the young age that I did.

An incredible film that delves into the mind of an amazing director. A must watch for its beauty alone. And the colors. My gosh the colors.
