Kurosawa's Van Gogh

Crows
A brilliantly-colored vignette featuring director Martin Scorsese as Vincent Van Gogh. An art student (a character wearing Kurosawa's trademark hat who provides the POV for the rest of the film) 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 painting Wheat Field with Crows is an important element in this dream. This Segment features Prelude No. 15 in D-flat major by Chopin.

chopin would not have cared for 'raindrops' as a name -_-

This is scene is so quintessential Kurosawa it blows my mind. Setting a young himself and his love of paintings, getting inside a Van Gogh piece (played by Scorcese), while Chopin's Raindrops play (Kurosawa is easily the greatest director of all time in the use of rain in his movies), with inter-cuts images of a locomotive, reminiscent of the 1923 movie "La Roue" from Abel Gance that Kurosawa attributed as the one movie that made him fall heels over head in love with the medium.

Kurosawa and Scorsese gave so much depth to Van Gogh's work. I cry every time I see this scene.
-
If VG influenced his use of color, or his appreciation of nature's beauty, there sure isn't much wrong with that.
-
1:40 always blows my mind the reproduction of the picture in a real footage.
"Every man is a genius when he's dreaming" - Akira Kurosawa.

@terencehl yes, but not as telling or indicative as it is in a western mind.

you consider that a weakness?!

@sintofg The strange thing is....Chopin never named any of his preludes! Hans von Bülow gave them all names, based on what they sounded like.
I wonder if Chopin would haved wanted this to be called "Raindrop Prelude".
