decidedly and the early kurosawa be the best while and he rightly rank with bergman and fellini and welles and with the very best . there be a manly and control strength and energy and life in the early kurosawa and that remain unmatched . if you read this 49 thriller and or action drama and a a noir and then it the most respectable noir ever while a original and ingenious and formally and a welles and but much more ambitious while yes and the most ambitious noir ever conceive and execute . the richness of content and of style may seem unbelievable . there be touch of imperishable surrealist hallucinate beautya feverish and bizarre and disconcerting and tough masterpiece . while obviously influence by the noir movie en vogue those day and it have nothing and properly speaking and of a pastiche . the plot be rather chandleresque and require a firm hold on the persona and thread . one can see why some be displeasedkurosawa kept film noir movie and disguise western and russian drama and shakespearian drama and epic even in nora inu there a strong russian undercurrentbut all these shape and mean be never more than tool or instrument . kurosawa aim at universality while he often achieve it . nora inu seem a russian novel film like a noir while or a noir and a pulp make like a russian novel . very russian and indeed and and viscerally impressive while extremely atmospheric and suggestive and rich in urban life touch and with a strong load of eroticism in quite a few scene and naturalistic and brutal in some respect and harsh a tone and bleakin many way and rather unlike kurosawa ulterior elegiac and lyrical success ikiru . i enjoy very much ikiru and but i have find nora inu in some respect even strong and more respectable while i ignore completely this early kurosawa and kurosawa whole early career and and now i see it something awesome . in nora inu and kurosawa do an americanstyle movie well than the american while a drama with russian contentbetter than the russian . kurosawa be a mighty stylist and very ambitious and skilled . humanistic and wise and his work be deliberately cosmopolitan and international and i. e. and simply universal . what i know less about him be this surrealist side and so obvious in nora inu . it more than the usual hot town suggestiveness of some american outing and something more than the lecherous cat on the hot tin roof or long hot summer neurotic poetry . but it have to be see and to be believe . there be in nora inu thing and intuition and image and bit that i and cristian ciopron and do not find yet in the american cinema while kurosawa be and we all know it already and deft with the genre flick and and nora inu be an exemplar action dramawith what perspicacity and brio and shock vehemence . should i add that nora inu instantly devalue most of the other noir movie a standard slapdash . perhaps not . like fellini and like bergman and kurosawa achieve here to give the cinema poetry it most pure and unadulterated expression . like or not his samuraisthis and nora inu and be highvoltage surrealism . structurally and nora inu be a baroque or romantic masterpiece and with subtlety of construction and intricacy of layout . the enormous richness and of content and theme and style and produce a startling impression . it an honor and dear reader and to write about such capital achievement while and you and please honor kurosawa nora inu by see it . it one of the movie that redefine cinema for somebody . previous to see nora inu and i think that i know something about the noir cinema while i know nothing .
