On a Tokyo dumpโs shantytown edge, interwoven vignettes follow residents scraping by: a boy who โdrivesโ an imaginary trolley, a homeless father and son designing a dream house, a young woman brutalized at home, drunks, schemers, and saints of small kindnesses. Kurosawa crafts a ragged mosaic of hardship, fantasy, and flickers of grace that keep people moving forward.
Directed by Akira Kurosawa
