Lower Depths, The
aka: Donzoko
Japan 1957, 132 minutes
Dir. Akira Kurosawa
In Japanese with English subtitles
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Drama
Topics: Stageplay.
Aroview: Arresting Maxim Gorky stage adaptation (previously filmed by Jean Renoir) is transposed to Japan’s Edo-era slums. Social realisms and the desperation of the underclass are at full volume here, with Kurosawa’s partner-in-crime Toshiro Mifune in raging form.

3 stars (Good Enough) It does not try to hide its origins as a play - the story unfolds in a limited amount of space, it is very heavy on dialogue and there is a good amount of melo/dramatic acting. ~Tubbs
