Title: Succint capsule reveiw.
Review: A serious contender for "best film ever made".In spite of being 3+ hours long, Kurosawa handles the pace so deftly that it scarcely seems that long at all. About as perfectly balanced as you could hope a film to be; the humourous, lighthearted aspects complement the starker, unromantic depictions of peasant existence, which in turn are meshed expertly with the adeptlt-filmed action sequences. Emotional and compelling, stylish and profound, all at once. If there were a rating above 5-stars, I'd award it.
