Topic: Dodesukaden


  
  Dodesukaden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dodesukaden (どですかでん) is a film by Akira Kurosawa set in a Japanese rubbish dump in the period immediately following World War II.
Dodesukaden was unlike anything that he had made before, and this lead to the film being critically panned in Japan, despite it earning an Academy Award Nomination for Best Foreign Film in 1970.
Dodesukaden was only made by the cooperation and co-producing of three other Japanese directors, Kinoshita, Kobayashi, and Ichikawa.

His next few films were a lot harder to finance and were made at intervals of five years.

 Asia Pacific Arts: Letter From Japan (#2)
The English critic David Thomson, in a column on Fellini for the The Independent last year, argued that Ingmar Bergman and Jean Luc Godard had managed to stay relevant, while Kurosawa and Federico no longer deserve to rub shoulders with the Euro-giants.
Maybe some films are unworthy of Kurosawa’s mettle -- the pre-war experiments; certainly Dodesukaden and some of the succeeding works -- but the bar was set high.
The first to be financed by Lucas and Coppola, it was the first financial success since the critical and commercial flop Dodesukaden.

 Box Office Prophets: Visionaries and Their Visions
In the previous eight years, Kurosawa had slaved over making but two films - Red Beard and Dodesukaden - and both films were loathed by critics and financially disastrous.
Though a ruinous failure, The Idiot is a precursor to The Lower Depths and Dodesukaden in Kurosawa's intention to create an excessively bleak environment to represent and mirror the mental bleakness of a defeated soul.
The Lower Depths and Dodesukaden are unrelenting looks at human misery.

 Kagemusha (1980)
After this no one in Japan was willing to back him financially, but he did not give up as he attempted to create a production company with three other prominent directors from Japan.
He made the brilliant Dodesukaden (1970), but it was a commercial flop that ended his production company.
This was the ultimate death for his professional career in Japan, but through Hollywood he began to work on Tora!
