From I Live in Fear
Post-War Kurosawa: Eclipse Series 7Director: Akira KurosawaCast: Toshiro Mifune, Setsuko Hara(1980) Rated: N/A US DVD release date: 15 January 2008 (Criterion) [14 March 2008] by Michael BarrettMany films of this era tap into fear and paranoia but not many address if destruction will come from those who fear it or those who ignore it.
