Product Description:
The most popular Japanese moviemaker of all time, Akira Kurosawa began his career by delving into the state of his nation immediately following World War II, with visual poetry and direct emotion. Amid Japan s economic collapse, moral waywardness, and American occupation, Kurosawa managed to find humor and redemption existing alongside despair and anxiety. In these five films, which range from the whimsically Capraesque to the icily Dostoyevskian, from political epics to courtroom potboilers, Kurosawa established both the artistic range and social acuity that would inform his entire career.
Amazon.com:
One of the more obscure early finds in master filmmaker Akira Kurosawa's oeuvre, this earnest 1946 film explores the nature of politics and passion. The plot centers around the daughter (Setsuko Hara) of an academic as she is thrust into the political and social turmoil of the years leading into the Second World War. As the fascists rise to power she sees her father stripped of his teaching position and her young lover arrested and executed as her other love interest goes to work for the state. The girl must try to make sense of the tumultuous world around her as she struggles to find her own identity and convictions. The film features some trademark visual sequences of the chaos that consumed pre-war Japan, including riots and military occupation. Director Kurosawa (Rashomon, The Idiot) maintains a studied and deliberate pace as he examines the pull of the girl between her romantic impulses and her sense of right and wrong. A powerful story of loss, redemption and empowerment, No Regrets for Our Youth is a prime opportunity to see one of the cinema's masters at work. --Robert Lane

"Postwar Kurosawa deserves a lot of praise for making early films by the great Japanes director available at reasonable prices. I thought the quality of the DVD's was good but then I've thought that about a lot of DVDs of older films that other reviewers have complained about. The set consists of 5 films.
In my opinion, the two best movies in the set are "No Regrets for our Youth" and "One Wonderful Sunday". These are near the quality, overall, of later works of the Master. "No Regrets..." ... Read More

You've seen the best, now see the rest. That seems to be the theme of the Eclipse Bergman & Kurosawa sets. Nobody who does not have a particular interest in Kurosawa's entire career would be interested in this set. Only after seeing Seven Samurai, Roshomon, Yojimbo, Stray Dog, Ran, Ikiru, Throne of Blood, Kagamusha & other Kurosawa greats and near greats would a Kurosawa enthusiast turn to these five decidedly underwhelming efforts.
The Idiot is a truncated version of a much longer ... Read More

This set from Eclipse/Criterion collects several of Akira Kurosawa's lesser films, and that means better films than most directors could turn out even in their dreams. THE IDIOT is overlong, and ONE WONDERFUL SUNDAY is sappy at times, but they are both worth seeing anyway. The remaining three are all fine dramas with unusual subjects for Kurosawa, and SCANDAL is my favorite of this set. It goes without saying that the video quality is flawless, though without the extensive restoration that some other Kurosawa ... Read More

I would love to see these and take advantage of my Amazon Prime membership (that I paid $75 for) for shipping. But, why is amazon selling the criterion and Eclipse sets for full list ("4 by Agnès Varda" as well)? All other sites are offering 10-30 percent discounts? Some of the single disc sets are reduced, slightly, but not the bigger sets. Isn't that why Amazon is in business? Sell a lot, because you sell cheap?
What gives?

All of the reviews thus far have been about No Regrets for Our Youth, which along with Dersu Uzala is probably my most-rewatched Kurosawa movie because of the story lines. As others have mentioned, it makes a political statement about freedom of thought and freedom of expression among university students. It gives Kurosawa a chance to tell the other side of the story only two or three years after The Most Beautiful, which promoted youthful enterprise in furthering Japan's war of "defense" against other nations ...
