Dodeskaden - Menschen im Abseits

Tokyo shantytown squats on a dump’s fringe. A kid steers a cardboard trolley past cardboard homes while a dad sketches his son a palace from scrap. Fists fly inside thin walls. Kurosawa lets scraps breathe tragedy and tenderness until forward looks almost possible.
