I liked a lot this film. I found this story really well told. In addition, photography was great, beautiful (even if the subject is sad and terrible), with too many influences from the German expressionism and some Eisentsein subjects (the broken glasses of the main character to express a violent situation and a defeat, as in Eisenstein's "Potemkin Battleship", or the rural working scenes, very close to that former Soviet Union social cinema). The only thing I didn't like is the propaganda atmosphere I found in this movie: Kurosawa seems to be always working for the established power, so if in 1944 he made a film ("Ichiban utsukushiku") to praise the politics of the Japanese military dictatorship, which forced secondary school female students to work in weapon factories, now in 1946, one year after the WWII was over and Japan defeated, he talks about fascists who didn't let the people express their opinion in freedom. According to my point of view, this is not a very ethical way to do cinema. Despite that, I must recognize that Kurosawa's filmography is still in my personal "top-10".
