Description : Although not well known, this film shines as bright as any of Kurosawas other works. The Lower Depths is the story of a group of people who all share the same living quarters in the slums of Japan. Everyone suffers greatly until a travelling old man comes and turns their world upside down. This film is spectacularly filmed. Most of the action takes place in a single room giving the viewer the sense of entrapment experienced by the individuals in the film. Mifunes appearence in this film is unparalled as the thief tortured by love and the hell of his existance. The Lower Depths is a film of great suffering and through this suffering finds the joy possible in the human heart. Often times Kurosawa is critisized by individuals for the light-hearted approach he takes to this film. However this light-nature is exactly what he was trying to show. This film is definitly worth checking out. This video will please film buffs as well as anyone familiar with the original Maxim Gorky play.
Cast: : Toshirô Mifune, Isuzu Yamada, Minoru Chiaki.
