About

Dreams is a series of eight, loosely related magical stories, based on Akira Kurasawa’s own dreams. In each vignette a Kurosawa surrogate played by various actors passively engages with surreal and archetypal situations including a fox’s wedding, an enchanted peach tree orchard, a weeping demon and a village forgotten by time. Shot with Kurosawa's signature dynamic composition, this trancelike film highlights the close relationship between Japanese folklore, fairy tales and our unconscious fears and desires.
