Akira Kurosawa

Article Abstract:

Film director Akira Kurosawa became assistant director to Kajiro Yamemoto in 1936. He made his debut as a director in 1943 with 'Judo Saga,' and gained international acclaim for 'Rashomon.' His prestige rose in the West, but he suffered a decline in his popularity in Japan, and in 1971 made a suicide attempt. He was a great perfectionist, and the commercial success of his films waned as they became increasingly expensive to make.
