A beautiful reminder from octogenarian Akira Kurosawa that he's still the master.

Top CriticIt is not one of his great films, but shows him thoughtfully trying to come to peace with the central event of his times.

Top CriticIt's proof, as if anyone needed it, that at 82, Kurosawa still possesses all of his artistic filmmaking powers.

Mr. 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.

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