RAPSODIA IN AGOSTO  - Hachigatsu no kyōshikyoku

lo struggente incontro tra generazioni distanti, per cui il ricordo dell’atomica esplode in una assolata e pacifica Nagasaki degli anni Novanta, nel penultimo film del grande maestro del cinema Giapponese. 

Akira Kurosawa (Tokyo, March 23, 1910 – Tokyo, September 6, 1998) was one of the most influential filmmakers in world cinema. Raised in a samurai-rooted family, he received a strict education and developed a passion for art, literature, and film thanks to his brother Heigo. After studying painting, he began his film career as an assistant director at P.C.L. studios, later known as Toho. He debuted as a director in 1943 with Sugata Sanshiro. His international acclaim began with Rashomon (1950), which won the Golden Lion at Venice, followed by masterpieces like Seven Samurai, Throne of Blood, Ran, and Dersu Uzala. Kurosawa earned numerous awards, including an Honorary Academy Award in 1990
