Donzoko (1957) Also Known As:DonzokoCountry:JapanLanguage:JapaneseSubtitle: EnglishYear:1957Genre:DramaScreen:Plot:In faithfully adapting Maxim Gorky’s classic play The Lower Depths, Akira Kurosawa incorporated themes from several of his better-known films. Transplanted from the play’s Russian setting to Japan’s Edo (pre-Tokyo) period, the film cleverly places its poverty-stricken characters into a vividly Japanese context while retaining their tenacious defense against life’s relentless miseries. As the title implies, the comedic drama unfolds literally in a hole–a dreary tenement sunken into a refuse-strewn landscape–where Kurosawa’s superb cast breathes life into the hopes, dreams, and delusions of their characters. Landlady, thief, prostitute, tinker, actor… all but the cynical gambler live in desperate self-deception, and Kurosawa finds poignant humor in the ways they hold reality at bay. Toshiro Mifune excels as the thief, but this is perhaps Kurosawa’s greatest ensemble achievement; lengthy rehearsals and multiple cameras resulted in a fluid, masterful film full of fine performances, confined to only two intimate settings yet embracing universal foibles of humanity.Cast:Toshir?Mifune, Isuzu Yamada, Ky?o KagawaDownload: 700MB/AVICode:Download Filejungle:http://www.filejungle.com/f/e7MWqm/Donzoko.part1.rarhttp://www.filejungle.com/f/6TDRjH/Donzoko.part2.rarDownload Filesonic:http://www.filesonic.com/file/1657113284/Donzoko.part1.rarhttp://www.filesonic.com/file/1657107604/Donzoko.part2.rarDownload Wupload:http://www.wupload.com/file/93263871/Donzoko.part1.rarhttp://www.wupload.com/file/92946398/Donzoko.part2.rarDownload Uploadstation:http://www.uploadstation.com/file/7qGNVnz/Donzoko.part1.rarhttp://www.uploadstation.com/file/2N9Fwd2/Donzoko.part2.rarCode:Download Filepost:http://filepost.com/files/3e4c359m/Donzoko.part1.rar/http://filepost.com/files/386682c6/Donzoko.part2.rar/
