An anthology of vignettes depicting the struggles, fantasies, and quiet resilience of residents in a Tokyo shantytown.
Drama · 7.1/10 · 140 min · 1970
On a Tokyo dump’s shantytown edge, interwoven vignettes follow residents scraping by: a boy who “drives” 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.
