This is one of my favorite films, and I'm wondering if others' preferences are similar to mine:
Favorite Dream: Village of the Watermills (and closing credits)
Second Favorite: Sunshine Through the Rain
Close Third: The Peach Orchard.
What say you?
It's been quite a few years since I've seen this wonderful film, but the two sequences that remain fixed in my memory are the Fox Wedding and especially the Tunnel. That scene will stay with me a long time.
share1. Village of the Watermills
2. Mt Fuji in Red
3. Sunshine Through the Rain
4. Peach Orchard
5. Crows
6. The Weeping Demon
7. The Tunnel
8. The Blizzard
I'll have to throw my vote for "Peach Orchard", "The Tunnel", and "Crows".
I just loved what Van Gough (in "Crows") had to say about artistic visions:
"A scene that looks like a painting does not make a painting. And if you take the time to look closely, all of nature has its own beauty. When that natural beauty is there, I just loose myself in it. And then, as if its in a dream, a scene just paints itself for me. Yes, I consume this natural setting. I devour it completely and wholly. And when I'm through, the picture appears before me complete. But it's so difficult to hold it inside."
My favorite was "The Peach Orchard" and "Sunshine through the rain". The sound effects are fantastic, the rain falling in the jungle and the footsteps sound in the Tunnel! Sends a chill down ur spine.
"The Peach Orchard" is my favorite because of stunning visuals in the end.. the dance sequence the dolls do.
Hope to watch more of Kurosawa.. I love films with few dialogues.. just the sound and sights are so amazing.

mip-snekkie, Vincent van Gogh lived in France most of his life and would have spoken fluent French too.

The Tunnel is one of the most moving things I've ever seen, also I liked the Weeping Demon and Village of the Watermills.
Also, though I love this movie, I have to say that the Crows seemed very gimmicky to me. And why is an American, forget the fact that its Marty, playing Van Gogh.
If it isn't Kurosawa, it's a copy.
The indisputable master.
