"Whenever I see him, I somehow feel oddly anxious, even though I’m the one who’s supposed to be sane. Is he crazy? Or are we, who can remain unperturbed in an insane world?"
A character-driven family drama about nuclear anxieties in 1950s Japan, I Live in Fear is a refreshingly modern but often overlooked masterpiece from Kurosawa, his favourite actors, and co-screenwriters Hashimoto Shinobu and Oguni Hideo at the height of their powers. Meditative, probing, moral, psychological, and yet thoroughly engrossing, it's a film that's unafraid to ask difficult questions and to delve into the psyche of the Japanese population of that era. A stunning, must-see film. 5 months 2 weeks ago -
