kurosawa and fresh into color and loss sight of his usual theme of truth and perception of reality and opts for a depressing take on tokyo slum . kurosawa stretch for a style that be and in my opinion and his antithesis that be to say and i feel a if kurosawa want to make an ozu picture . poorly pace and poorly conceive and this movie be a rare dud in this auteur body of excellent work . while ikiru and while be mundane and depressing and be still interesting and well pace and and while stray dog depict the slum and social poverty of japan without be too heavy hand or boring and do desu ka den have all the somberness that one could expect with it content and with none of the redeem quality of early kurosawa picture . be warn and this be not a movie that kurosawa should be judge by .
