Some of the finest acting I’ve ever seen lmao. Revamped version of The Lower Depths that’s a bit better. Some interesting and very unique individuals in this one. Plot was a bit all over the place, but still some intriguing premises sprinkled throughout. Train inspector was one of the greatest movie characters I’ve ever had the pleasure to watch; absolute cinema. Plot alone; this movie is about 3 stars. However; because of the various characters and their respective actor’s acting in this (shoutout the father and son cooking duo and again, the train “inspector”), this is getting a bump. Also, Kurosawa’s first movie in color so bonus points for that. 7.3
