I think this is one of the best sequences of the film. It's like a documentary of how shitty and desperate life was under the Occupation, done under the nose of the Occupation censors, with Mifune blending in with the starving downtrodden on the streets of Tokyo. It's astounding.Finch wrote: Tue Sep 25, 2018 4:32 pm I think it'd be one of his absolute best if it wasn't for that interminable 8 minute sequence in the first quarter of the film where Mifune is trailing or searching for another character (been a long time since I've seen it).

A far FAR better sequence than the somewhat similarly extended "underworld" scene in High and Low.
