Akira Kurosawa, 1949
A bad day gets worse for young detective Murakami when a pickpocket steals his gun on a hot, crowded bus. Desperate to right the wrong, he goes undercover, scavenging Tokyo’s sweltering streets for the stray dog whose desperation has led him to a life of crime. With each step, cop and criminal’s lives become more intertwined and the investigation becomes an examination of Murakami’s own dark side.

“The excitement you feel when you watch the movie today: it’s the thrill of seeing a great filmmaker come of age.” —The Current

“The greatest living example of all that an author of the cinema should be.” —Federico Fellini on Akira Kurosawa
