[b]DESCRIPTION[/b]
•---------------------------------------------------------------•		

[i][b]Akira Kurosawa's The Idiot, is his only adaptation of a Fyodor Dostoevsky novel, and was a cherished project on which it is claimed he expended more effort than on any other film. A darkly ambitious exploration of the depths of human emotion, it combines the talents of two of the greatest Japanese actors of their generation - Toshiro Mifune and Setsuko Hara. The Idiot is perhaps the most comprehensive of all of Kurosawa's works, a tone which is heightened by the unusual, trance like performances.

Kurosawa's electrifying dramatisation uproots the novel's Russian Summer setting to a memorable, snowbound Hokkaido - the northern most island of Japan, closest to Russia in climate and custom. War criminal Kameda, reprieved from a death sentence, is fresh out of the asylum, mentally fragile and prone to epileptic fits. In turn, his emotional involvement with two women and his new, increasingly volatile friend Akama leads further into madness and gross tragedy...
