Here’s a tight blurb:
Dreams / Yume (1990) — Akira Kurosawa’s late anthology of eight dream-vignettes (screenplay Kurosawa; cinematography Takao Saitō & Shōji Ueda; music Shinichirō Ikebe) . The adult “I” is played by Akira Terao (with Mitsunori Isaki as the boy) . The episodes: Sunshine Through the Rain (a forbidden fox wedding), The Peach Orchard (spirits of cut trees confront the boy), The Blizzard (mountaineers saved by a snow yuki-onna), The Tunnel (a returning officer meets his dead platoon), Crows (I steps into Van Gogh’s paintings—Martin Scorsese as Van Gogh), Mount Fuji in Red (nuclear meltdown panic), The Weeping Demon (post-apocalypse mutants), and Village of the Watermills (a gentle ecological utopia with Chishū Ryū) .
