High and Low
Not a love for me, but it was an incredibly made movie and definite proof that Kurosawa is the single greatest director ever.
I liked the first half the most, think the tailing part was a drag, otherwise very good.
Red beard, Ikiru, 7 samurai and this. Insane.
🕵️ scenes, great

For a movie made almost 60 years ago, I’d imagine this one inspired many crime/mystery films down the line. I watched on Max and despite it being black and white, the picture quality and cinematography is great. Really enjoyed this movie.

A gripping thriller with interesting themes. Really transports you into this snapshot of a sweltering week in Yokohama.
Everyone melts into their performances - feels like nobody is even acting.
I loved the detailed, procedural crime investigation. While I forgot to pay attn to the photography, I did notice a lot of cool dirtying of the frame.
This is arguably a film in 3 parts: the character study of Gondo (who also develops in the other two), the procedural investigation beginning with a great train scene, and finally the process of catching the kidnapper. All great!

This is a master class in blocking and cinematography directed by the all time goat Kurosawa! Jumped to the top of my favorite of his works!
