Akira Kurosawa's 'High and Low': Films of 1963 featuring DASEIN

Oh boy. Our artist in residence, Dasein, the “Mr. Gondo” of music making, showed up for Kurosawa and got some crazy banter about Hemorrhoids, automatic doors, our most intoxicated episodes, and finally High and Low’, Akira Kurosawa’s 1963 masterpiece. After a string of period pieces, almost all of which starred or co-starred Toshirô Mifune, Kurosawa adapts the 1963 American serial crime novel ‘King’s Ranson’, which may very well be the absolute GOAT of detective films. Yeah, including the noirs, film nerds! Go watch ‘Memories of Murder’, ‘Se7en’, and ‘Zodiac’, and then come back and listen to our episodes from a few years ago. We’ll give some context of the 1963 film year, rank our favorite Kurosawas, and drink some beer while loving movies!
