Pretending there’s something there when there isn’t… it’s petty. I don’t like that. Pretending there’s nothing there, when there is something… that’s called ‘style’.

Can movement tell a story? Sure, if you’re as gifted as Akira Kurosawa. More than any other filmmaker, he had an innate understanding of movement and how to capture it onscreen. Join me today in studying the master, possibly the greatest composer of motion in film history.

One of Akira Kurosawa’s many gifts was staging scenes in ways that were bold, simple and visual. I’m working on a longer essay about him and this piece didn’t make the cut, so here it is as a standalone video. Thanks for watching!
