    Sanshiro Sugata 1943

    This is Kurosawa's first true movie as a full director. Before any real discussion of this film can take place the missing film needs to be talked about. Around a third of this film is lost to history and Japanese wartime rationing. This fact makes a lot of this movie more confusing and hard to understand.

    This film is called existential horror. That is an accurate label, the four stories in this movie are not inherently scary but they bring up scary ideas and themes. The way they are shot is also interesting to watch. Much like most films of this type, some stories are better than others, but rather than there being good and bad stories.
