    Kurosawa made his last movie with the gentle doting care of a grandparent. Certain traits of artists loom larger in the later stages of their career, and Kurosawa always had a sentimental streak; Madadayo is one movie where we can readily forgive the old master for his taste for sweets.

    Has the expressionistic simplicity of Kurosawa's other late films.

    A profound and deeply moving exploration of facing death with dignity.
