A collection of eight tales based upon the actual dreams of director Kurosawa. Each story unfolds in a weird and wonderful fashion, sometimes confusing, yet stunning, precious and powerful. In this magnificent version of Macbeth, Kurosawa uses visual effects with the same stunning wickedness that Shakespeare uses verbal ones. Its stylized violence and pageantry, that is decidedly theatrical, gives an Eastern twist to this macabre tale. Adapted from Boris Pasternak's novel, this award-winning epic love story follows Zhivago through the Bolshevik Revolution, a tormented love affair, and his efforts to save his marriage.
