Dreams (夢 , Yume , aka Akira Kurosawa's Dreams) is a 1990 Japanese-American magical realism film of eight vignettes written and directed by Akira Kurosawa.

 It was made five years after "Ran", with assistance from George Lucas, Francis Ford Coppola, and Steven Spielberg, and funded by Warner Bros. The film was screened out of competition at the 1990 Cannes Film Festival, and to this day has received positive reviews.
A.K. is a 1985 French documentary film directed by Chris Marker about the Japanese director Akira Kurosawa.

 The film is sometimes seen as being reflective of Marker's fascination with Japanese culture, which he also drew on for one of his best-known films, "Sans Soleil".
 The film was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1985 Cannes Film Festival.
