Akira Kurosawa CROWS Enhanced version

This is a full version HD upload of a very interesting work. "Crows" is a short movie, part of Akira Kurosawa’s movie "Dreams". It is a brilliantly-colored vignette featuring famous director Martin Scorsese as Vincent Van Gogh. The plot is: an art student finds himself inside the vibrant and sometimes chaotic world inside Van Gogh's artwork, where he meets the artist in a field and converses with him. The student loses track of the artist (who is missing an ear and nearing the end of his life) and travels through other works trying to find him. Van Gogh's paintings "Langlois Bridge at Arles" and "Wheat Field with Crows" are important elements in this dream. This short features Prelude No. 15 in D-flat major by Chopin as soundtrack. The visual effects for this particular segment were provided by George Lucas and his special effects group Industrial "Light and Magic". To be honest, Kurosawa had the idea but the credit goes to George Lucas and his "Light and Magic".
