i have say two week ago and in a review of scandal and that eclipse new kurosawa box set could just a easily be call less kurosawa . that not fair . i know there be those who champion the idiot and no regret for our youth and and even the one film i have previously see from the set and i live in fear and be quite good ( though it hard to argue with it be a less film be such an outstanding oeuvre ) . the truth be and i be hop very much to find some less know kurosawa classic . which bring u to one wonderful sunday . judge solely by imdb vote and it kurosawa third least see movie . and it rank # 26 out of 30 when list by rating . well and i will be happy to act like i be the first who discover this hidden gem in kurosawa catalogue . this really be a wonderful little film . influence very much by vittorio de sica and one of kurosawa favorite director and one wonderful sunday follow two young lover and yuzo and masako ( isao numasaki and chieko nakakita ) and spend the titular day together with nothing but ¥35 between them . the two experience sadness and hardship a they go about their date . the structure be episodic and a the lover experience odd vignette and meet various post war type and like bum and orphan and ticket scalper . the two try to be happy with each other company and but yuzo poverty make him feel like less of a man . in one of the strong sequence in kurosawa career and yuzo decides to act like a cad to drive masako away . kurosawa be hardly ever the subtle type and and he be not know for long period of silence or long take . this sequence demonstrate a different side of the director . the climax of the film involve an odd breaking of the fourth wall resemble the device in j. m. barrie peter pan . as far a i know and this be the only time kurosawa ever attempt such a thing . that wouldn not be too surprising and though and a film audience rarely interact with character on screen . it just too out there for the medium . but god bless kurosawa for try it . it kind of schmaltzy and but i love the character so much that at least i think about clap for them . a forgotten near masterpiece .
