Setting aside that it's awkwardly written ("as per...") and omits critical information (the year of the rankings), it's simply unnecessarily detailed.

Quite a lot of films use this device, and they are not remakes of Stray Dog. As far as I know the only actual remake of this picture is the 70s movie with Watari that takes place in Okinawa.

My concern was that it doesn't belong in the opening sentence if the film never actually released under this title. Film historians and the like come up with their own translations of film titles all the time, and for convenience we should make redirects and possibly mention them somewhere in the article. But bold and italics, let alone being in the opening sentence, should be reserved for actual release titles rather than what a few reputable, but ultimately unrelated, researchers have said. elvenscout742 (talk) 05:40, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

message: Re: the notability of critics, there are voluminous instances of films far less notable than a great film by a great filmmaker with links to minor film blogs. This link is from a major blog site that Wikipedia has its own entry on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blogcritics; it is written by a film critic that Wikipedia has its own entry on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Schneider_(writer), about a film released by a DVD company with its own page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criterion_Collection; and about a version of the DVD that is newly released with new features that are detailed in a review that runs some 8 pages long. This is not just a thumbs up or down review. Given these four facts, to call the review non-notable, is absurd, since Wikipedia notes the company that released the dvd, the site that posted the review, and the writer.

Nakadai 22:35, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. There are many signs that this is a 1970 contemporary movie. For example, the wannabe architect and his boy live in the junked remains of a Citroen 2CV (deux chevaux), a car which first model year was 1949. The condition of the car implies that it has been lying in the junk yard for many years. Also, the style of clothing, especially the torn jeans that one of the female characters wears, indicates that this takes place in or after the 60’s. The old man who wants to commit suicide speaks of the war – and his loss -- in terms that imply that it happened a very long time ago. There are many more such period indicators.

thread_title:  Running time: 

message: You might add that Kurosawa was awfully apprehensive after Hollywood fired him from the Japanese-US co-production of "Tora Tora Tora". Dodesukaden was transmuted from the remains of a project for another co-production called "Runaway Train" that never materialized. The original schedule called for a 44-day shoot; he completed it in 28. After release, critics came down hard on him for washing family linen in public: they felt that his duty was to make Japan look good and not dwell on homeless psychotics, village drunkards, local lasses of looser morals and such. The attacks contributed heavily to his suicide attempt and he survived only because his son came upon him in time. --Arthur Borges (talk) 05:20, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Currently the article says, “Tarkovsky constantly rewrote parts of the script, with the latest variant of the script written in 1984”. Is that a typo? If the year is correct, then it needs some explanation of why he would rewrite the script of a movie released nine years earlier (for example, was he contemplating a remake? was he going to publish the script in its own right? or was it just for personal reasons). It's especially confusing because the very next sentence talks about a scene that was in “the script” but removed during shooting. Obviously it doesn't mean a scene that was in the 1984 script, but syntactically that's what it seems to be referring to. —Mathew5000 (talk) 02:07, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

message: This film, like many of Godard's films, is studded with all sorts of literary and cinematic allusions.  The article does a good job of pointing out the allusions to Dostoyevsky, Goethe, and Paul Nizan.  Another allusion is in the choice of name for the Soviet Minister of Culture, whom the young revolutionaries seek to assassinate.  In the film, he bears the name of Mikhail Sholokhov, like the author of the novel And Quiet Flows the Don.  In fact, the real Mikhail Sholokhov did serve as a kind of roving ambassador for the Soviet Union during the 1960s, but was never the Minister of Culture.
