Dreams

Dreams is a 1990 magical realism film based on actual dreams of the film's director, Akira Kurosawa, at different stages of his life. The film is more imagery than dialogue.　The alternative titles ("I Saw a Dream Like This") are a translation of the opening line of Ten Nights of Dreams, by Natsume Sōseki, which begins: Konna yume wo mita. The film was screened out of competition at the 1990 Cannes Film Festival. The film consists of several dreams based on Kurosawa's own, throughout his life. The dreams are eight separate segments
