Dreams is the Sunday night classic of May, showing every Sunday of the month at 9PM.
May’s classic is a magical-realist anthology of eight episodic dreams. These stories—drawn from both Japanese folklore and Kurosawa’s own dreams—are strung together like short fairy tales, each tied to a different phase of life. Together, they form a visually enchanting journey through the mind of one of the greatest filmmakers of all time.
At the age of eighty, Kurosawa created Dreams, his final and most personal, introspective film. This visual masterpiece stands as the ultimate culmination of the themes and artistic obsessions that define his body of work. With its exceptional cinematography, dreamlike atmosphere, and hypnotic imagery, he reflects on life, gives voice to his deepest fears, and contemplates themes such as nature, art, and death.
