I tried to sit thru my first Akira Kurosawa movie of this marathon, The Bad Sleep Well, but the bad/missing translation combined with this oppressive heat just irritated me to no end. I wasn’t going to sit thru two hours plus of this horrible half-assed translation. So I switched to the classic Hitchcock suspense movie, … Continue reading
