Synopsis
When a wealthy foundry owner and bullying patriarch decides to move his entire family from Tokyo to Brazil to escape the nuclear holocaust which he fears is imminent, his family tries to have him declared mentally incompetent. Made at the height of the Cold War when the superpowers were engaged in series of nuclear tests, this blazing attack on complacency was one of the director´s most deeply-felt, but least commercially successful films. Nonetheless it deserves to be more widely known, particularly as it continues Kurosawa´s critique of the patriarchal despotism rife in Japanese society..
