The Bad Sleep Well (1960) - Akira Kurosawa
Another good Kurosawa film. What stops me rating it higher is it felt a bit cold. It needed Kyoko Kagawa to have a more prominent role to give it a bit more heart.
Tokyo Twilight (1957) - Yasujiro Ozu
A darker movie than most of Ozu's others but it still works really well. Ryu & Hara are great as always but the performance of Ineko Arima is the highlight IMO.
Jiro Dreams of Sushi (2011) - David Gelb
Documentary about the world's leading sushi chef - who at the age of 85 still works every day. Made me hungry ...
My Asian Movie Count: 20
