I will digest this list in the weeks ahead.

During our cinema days, I don't remember watching Kurosawa with you. I have seen him since. Kurosawa made a classic about a civil servant who had one year to live. I liked that one! Remembering Kurosawa images is easy somehow.

I love Kurosawa. The Seven Samurai is one of my favorite films ever. I also love his Kagemusha. Very memorable film moments in both, definitely.
