	Firecracker Scandal & The Idiot
		The second release, The Idiot (1951), has more in common with Kurosawa’s literary adaptations of western writers, which forms another strong thread in his oeuvre, including his two interpretations of Shakespeare Ran (1985) and Throne of Blood (1957) (King Lear and Macbeth respectively) and of Gorky’s The Lower Depths (1957).
		Kurosawa’s rigorous attempt to create a film as psychologically dense as the novel it is based on may well have proved to be the greatest film adaptation of a nineteenth century novel ever made if it weren’t for the edits it suffered.
		In spite of its unfortunate mutilation the visual style of The Idiot is astonishing, especially in the virtuoso sequence in which Kurosawa expresses Kameda’s mental confusion through a series of disorienting dissolves, as he is pursued by his rival Akama through the snow-covered streets.

	MTV.com - Movies - Setsuko Hara
		Film scholars will remember Sestuko Hara for her recurring role as Noriko in Ozu's Banshun (Late Spring, 1949), Baksushu (Early Summer, 1951), and Tokyo mongatari (Tokyo Story, 1954); she was also seen in Akira Kurosawa's adaptation of Dostoyevsky's The Idiot (1951).
		Comparatively little-known in the U.S., actress Sestuko Hara was a major film presence in her native Japan.
		In the postwar years, she was most closely associated with the films of director Yasujiro Ozu, and in fact left show business not long after Ozu's death in 1963.
