	Hakuchi
		Hakuchi (白痴) (The Idiot) is a 1951 film by Japanese director Akira Kurosawa.
		Hakuchi was shot in fl and white at an aspect ratio of 1.37:1.
		Originally intended to be a two-part film with a running time of 265 minutes, Hakuchi was severely cut by the studio, against Kurosawa's wishes, after a single poorly-received screening of the full-length version.

	The Idiot DVD review
		I've never subscribed to the notion that movie adaptations of literary works have to be completely faithful to their source material.
		In terms of character and plot development, Hakuchi is likely to prove initially a little confusing to those not familiar with the novel, not through any fault of the director, but because of the aforementioned butchering of his original version.
		Hakuchi may not be one of Kurosawa's finest achievements, and in this severely truncated form it's impossible to properly judge it as a complete work.

	Space Age Bachelor: Tezka Macoto's Hakuchi: Parallel Universes of the Mind
		Although based on a mid-20th Century novella by Ango Sakaguchi (so it's not to be confused with the Kurasawa film of the same name, which was adapted from a Dostoevsky novel), Hakuchi seems at times like it might be double-functioning as a critique of the media at the beginning of the 21st Century.
		In the apocalpytic landscapes, or rather wastelands, of Hakuchi, Izawa's 8 mm film is a treasure, an oasis of purity - the antitheses of the vile commercialism of the Media Station.
		He films his feeble-minded girlfriend, the innocent of the movie's title, who is reaching out for his hand, with a lost, bewildered look in her eyes - and then, Izawa does the right thing - he chucks the camera into the flames, and reaches out to her.

	SARUDAMA.COM: Japanese Movie Reviews: Hakuchi - The Innocent (Tezuka Makoto 1999) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		Hakuchi blends and evokes images reminscient of the realpolitik of Salome, the apocalyptic state of Blade Runner and the societal perversity of Clockwork Orange.
		The earliest scene of the movie is of a sobbing child sitting aside the charred remains of his mother and grandmother, amidst the bombed and burned rubble which was just moments before their home.
		She becomes for him the Hakuchi no Onna (Innocent Woman) and she finds in him the calmness, sincerity and depth utterly lacking from the only relationship she has known, with her delusional father.

		"The Idiot" is a very complicated story and fitting all the characters and subplots into a two and a half hour movie does not work.
		I read that the studio that released it cut the film from six hours to the length we see.
		The Maltin review mentioned that it wasn't edited per Kurosawa's wishes and it shows, but a good movie and still has many Kurosawa 'trademark' shots and touches.

		The bulk of Mizoguchi's work was produced years before Japanese films were widely shown in the West.
		When a handful of Japanese movies did play in France and Germany in the late '20s, Mizoguchi's Passion of a Woman Teacher (1926) received considerable praise.
		But whereas its contemporary, Crossways (Teinosuke Kinugasa, 1928) became (and remains) a staple repertory item in Europe, all trace of Mizoguchi's film has long since disappeared.
