The Idiot

Japanese master Akira Kurosawa tackles Dostoevsky's novel and delivers another splendid film. The story about a simple and good man who returns home after the war where he touches and changes the lives of several people including two beautiful but different women. Kurosawa and Dostoevsky are a perfect match because of their humanistic approach to the human condition. It comes to no surprise that Kurosawa chose this novel to adapt since it studies the inherent goodness of a human and how it's contradicts with the society. A timeless classic with a perfect cast and crew that includes Setsuko Hara and Toshirô Mifune. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
