Review of After the Rain (2000) by Luke B — 26 Dec 2009
A tribute to the master Kurosawa. It uses his last screenplay as a template and builds a story of a masterless samurai. Unlike Kurosawa's films, this fails to have a dramatic emotional connection with the audience.
It is also very slow and lacks entertainment. It is a sweet and quiet film with much to take in. It's nice to see the likes of Toshiro Mifune's son paying tribute. Overall you get a very slow Samurai tale, with long talking sections and enthralling, but short, fight scenes.
