Review of Madadayo (1993) by Coco : — 29 Jun 2008
Perhaps the quintessential "late film," Kurosawa uses the stories of a retired professor and his endearing relationships to his loyal students, his wife, and two cats as a sounding board to reflect upon mortality and its relationship to history.
For a director who seemed to pack quick and hurried exposition into the first acts of his earlier films (this tendency nearly mars even his best film, 'High and Low') the patience and leisurely pace of this film are a revelation.
