Plain and simple, Rhapsody is mediocre pap. It's nothing compared with his previous work.

Top CriticNo review available.

A delicately nuanced film about remembrance -- so delicate, perhaps, that it's not terribly memorable itself.
01/01/00
Top CriticIt's proof, as if anyone needed it, that at 82, Kurosawa still possesses all of his artistic filmmaking powers.
01/01/00
A beautiful reminder from octogenarian Akira Kurosawa that he's still the master.
05/15/04
Top CriticKurosawa's lovely meditation on the nature of American-Japanese relations could not come at a better time.
01/01/00
It is not one of his great films, but shows him thoughtfully trying to come to peace with the central event of his times.

Top CriticMr. Gere gives a good, self-effacing performance in a role that's a little unreal. He speaks his own Japanese dialogue easily and is at the center of one of Mr. Kurosawa's most breathtaking moments.
