Dodeskaden - Menschen im Abseits (Original title: ど で す か か ん) is a film by Akira Kurosawa from 1970 . Based on a story by Yamamoto Shūgorō , the film was Kurosawa's first color film.
action
The film traces the lives of numerous people in a Tokyo slum. The film, which sometimes seems very surreal, shows life in poverty and hopelessness, with which the residents nevertheless come to terms. The protagonist of the film is the mentally handicapped Rokuchan.
criticism
“Kurosawa's first color film combines social commitment and humanistic pathos with idiosyncratic aesthetic stylization. The subtle color dramaturgy and the artificiality of the decorations emphasize the parabolic, abstract character of the individual episodes. "
“An episode from Kurosawa's Dodeskaden : A woman returns to her blind man after a ' wrong step'. […] The last cut shows the woman outside again, her face in front of the empty sky in close-up is infinitely sad, but composed with dignity of the immutable. Why: the unalterable? Who, like people from the Young West, calls love a 'relationship' and its entanglements a 'box'; those who are used to driving the language to the point of 'pronunciation' will refuse these scenes the shock and replace them with indignation.
