Produced with assistance from George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, <I>Dreams</I> is an omnibus of eight short stories and parables that spell enchantment at every turn. The opening story, "Sun Under the Rain," emerges from director Akira Kurosawa's personal memories, as a child (whose house is modeled after Kurosawa's childhood home in Koishikawa) witnesses a fox's wedding ceremony in a magical forest. The Garden of Eden motif continues in "The Peach Orchard," while Lucas's ILM special effects group shines in the glorious "Crows" segment, in which an art admirer finds himself living within the paintings of Van Gogh (played with concentrated energy by Kurosawa enthusiast Martin Scorsese). In the idyllic closing fable, "The Village of the Watermills," a centenarian claims that "people nowadays have forgotten that they are also part of nature." The equally wise Kurosawa reinforces the old man's claim through these vivid but ultimately life-affirming tableaux. <I>--Kevin Mulhall</I>
Viewer Reviews
After reading all the glowing reviews here I was really expecting something much, much better. I found this film mind-numbingly boring. Like another reviewer said, it's like watching a screen saver for a couple of hours. But this is just my opinion. Obviously, many people found this film enjoyable, but it's not for everyone. I'll give it two stars.
