Akira Kurosawa – A Retrospective
STRAY DOG (1949)
on the big screen!
Thursday, September 4th at 7:30 PM
with intro & post-film discussion with film historian Glenn Andreiev
A bad day gets worse for young detective Murakami when a pickpocket steals his gun on a crowded bus. Desperate to right the wrong, he goes undercover, scavenging Tokyo’s sweltering streets. With each step, cop and criminal’s lives become more intertwined. Starring Toshiro Mifune as the rookie cop and Takashi Shimura as the seasoned detective who keeps him on the right side of the law, Stray Dog goes beyond crime thriller, probing the squalid world of postwar Japan and the nature of the criminal mind. (Japan, 1949, 122 mins, Japanese | Dir. Akira Kurosawa)
