Akira Kurosawa vs. "Tora! Tora! Tora!"

[Otokichi]

I recall reading about Akira Kurosawa's problems and eventual firing as the Japanese half of "Tora! Tora! Tora!," then forgetting him completely until "Dersu Uzala" (1975), "Kagemusha" (1980), "Ran" (1985) and "Dreams" (1990) made me take notice. Press PLAY to find out about Akira Kurosawa's meticulous working style and how "The Emperor" returned to form.
