The Films of Akira Kurosawa
[On what it means to create] "I think that to find what is real one must look very closely at one's world, to search for those things that contribute to this reality which one feels under the surface. These are few and one uses them to create. These are the core around which the world moves, the axis on which it turns."
As a cinephile who enjoys watching Kurosawa movies, this book was far from a light read. Each chapter broke down a Kurosawa film (beginning with his first) and progressing forward in the director's timeline. You could tell the author was an expert in the director's filmography from the slightest details he was able to pick apart and bring to your attention. For instance, in his analysis of Ran, he would point out that a shot's composition would be structured in a way that matched the context of the scene. Like if the characters in the scene were working together as one group, the acto
