Kagemusha

“This is the Shadow Warrior, Kurosawa. He also is one of those great artists who is still trying to find new ways to do what he does in his old age and is embracing Grand themes. Speaking of Shakespeare, he's super Shakespearean, he's very into the big Shakespearean questions of life and how she'll be lived and how do we atone for past actions... I will absolutely watch Kagemusha and so should you.”

“And Kagemusha. Kurosawa. It's time. I have not seen it. It is time I watch it.”

“Kurosawa’s Kagemusha. There’s whole areas of this film where most of the color is army, khaki color, and then these electrifying bursts of red. So as a fashion designer, you can imagine you’re like this, and then suddenly you’ve got a bright color suddenly sitting on top of a very neutral base. So, even if you don’t understand it, even if you switch the sound off, it’s amazing. But don’t do either of those things.”
