"Dodes'ka-den" ('70 Toho/Shikino Kai) DVD Kunie Tanaka / Yoshitaka Zushi / Kin Sugai / Tatsuo Matsumura / Tomoko Naraoka / Hisashi Igawa Main Feature: 140 minutes Rental Up Item Playback Confirmed Akira Kurosawa's first color film, based on Shugoro Yamamoto's novel "The Seasonless Town." Set in a post-war slum, the film humorously and fantastically depicts the episodes of the common people surrounding Rokuchan, a train fanatic. This is the first work of the "Shikino Kai," a group formed by four Japanese masters: Keisuke Kinoshita, Kon Ichikawa, Masaki Kobayashi, and Akira Kurosawa. Through the eyes of Rokuchan, who drives an imaginary train around the town while saying "Dodes'ka-den, Dodes'ka-den," the film humorously and fantastically portrays the human drama of the people living in the slums. The title "Dodes'ka-den" is the onomatopoeia used by a boy, one of the characters, who imagines himself to be a train driver, as he drives his imaginary train. ☞ Playback has been confirmed, but we do not guarantee playback on all devices.
