Madadayo
まあだだよ
1993 · Film · 134 min
Directed by Akira Kurosawa
In postwar Tokyo, beloved writer-professor Hyakken Uchida retires and is buoyed through hardship by the fierce devotion of his former students, who honor him each year with a raucous “Not yet!” birthday toast. Told in warm, gently comic vignettes, Kurosawa’s farewell celebrates aging, friendship, and the sustaining ritual of teacher and pupils refusing to say goodbye.

For the first time I watched Akira Kurosawa's films (mostly all of them in few weeks, but not yet "I Live in Fear") ten years ago.
"Yume", "Hachi-gatsu no rapusodi" and "Madadayo" are those which impressed me too much.
