Something Like an Autobiography by Akira Kurosawa

Something Like an Autobiography by Akira Kurosawa

The director of Seven Samurai and Rashomon insisted he was not interesting enough for a full autobiography. He wrote this instead — and it is one of the finest books ever written by a filmmaker.

Kurosawa recalls the Tokyo earthquake of 1923, an older brother who narrated silent films and did not survive them, years of poverty as an assistant director, and the wartime censors. He stops at Rashomon, saying the films speak for the rest.

Essential for film students and for anyone interested in how an artist is actually formed.
