The first dream, 'Sunshine Through the Rain', depicts the belief that foxes marry when the sun shines through a rainstorm. 'The Peach Orchard' follows the link between a doll festival and fruit trees which have the power to bring the dolls to life. In 'The Blizzard', a group of mountaineers struggle to walk on as the snow hampers their progress. 'The Tunnel' follows the journey of a discharged commander who is returning home from the Second World War. In 'Crows', Martin Scorsese stars as Vincent Van Gogh who is discovered when an art student travels through one of his paintings. 'Mount Fuji in Red' follows the chaos that ensues after six reactors at a nuclear plant near Mount Fuji explode, filling the skies with bright red fumes. In 'The Weeping Demon', a boy lost in the mountains comes across a horned man who explains that a holocaust has wiped out the human race. Finally, in 'Village of the Watermills', a young man on his travels discovers a village where the inhabitants have renounced modern technology to live a simple life off the land.<br/><br/><i>Typ: Blu-ray / 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray (Restored Special Edition)</i>

Akira Kurosawa regisserar detta japanska action drama baserat på Shakespeare's 'King Lear'.<br/>Mot slutet av Sengoku-epoken (1467-1582) var de olika klanerna i det japanska öriket inblandade i blodiga bataljer för att värna sina landområden. En mäktig härskare vid namn Hidetora Ichimonji vill på sin ålders höst dra sig tillbaka. Inför sina främsta vasaller överlåter han efter en lyckad vildsvinsjakt sina tre borgar åt sina tre söner och utser samtidigt den äldste, Taro, till klanens överhuvud. Den yngste sonen, Saburo, som omedelbart förutser stridigheter mellan de äldre bröderna Taro och Jiro, vägrar att acceptera faderns beslut. Han anklagar vidare den gamle mannen för att vara åderförkalkad. Hidetora blir rasande och förvisar Saburo från sitt rike . . . Maktlystnad, hat och passioner leder till våldsamma strider och Jiro blir den ende överlevande av klanen.
