{"product_id":"kurosawas-dreams-4k-uhd","title":"Kurosawa's Dreams - 4K UHD","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eUnfolding in a series of eight mythic vignettes, this late work by Akira Kurosawa was inspired by the beloved director’s own night time visions, along with stories from Japanese folklore. In a visually sumptuous journey through the master’s imagination, tales of childlike wonder give way to apocalyptic apparitions: a young boy stumbles on a fox wedding in a forest; a soldier confronts the ghosts of the war dead; a power-plant meltdown smothers a seaside landscape in radioactive fumes. Interspersed with reflections on the redemptive power of creation, including a richly textured tribute to Vincent van Gogh (who is played by Martin Scorsese), Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams is both a showcase for its maker’s artistry at its most unbridled and a deeply personal lament for a world at the mercy of human ignorance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003e4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-vertical\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003e4K digital restoration, supervised by cinematographer Shoji Ueda, with 2.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eOne 4K UHD disc of the film presented in HDR and one Blu-ray with the film and special features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eAudio commentary featuring film scholar Stephen Prince\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eFeature-length documentary from 1990 shot on set and directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eInterviews with production manager Teruyo Nogami and assistant director Takashi Koizumi\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eDocumentary from 2011 by director Akira Kurosawa’s long time translator Catherine Cadou, featuring interviews with filmmakers Bernardo Bertolucci, Alejandro G.
