       | On the flip side, Terence Malick gives you an index card with an

       | The Criterion Collection has most if not all of Kurosawa's movies
       | available.

       | Kurosawa associates strongly with his black-and-white early work,
       | so I was surprised at the strong use of color and contrasting
       | hues in these. It reminds me of post-Impressionist Pierre
       | Bonnard.

         | Some of his early films would have been made just as color
         | films were becoming normal. I have a feeling he always had a
         | strong sense of color, but was limited by tools which were
         | available to him at the time.

         | Agreed about his early black-and-white work, but I'm also
         | familiar enough with his masterful use of color in films like
         | "Ran" and "Kagemusha" that this doesn't surprise me. Kurosawa
         | really was a genius.
         | 
         | The YouTube channel Every Frame a Painting has an entire
         | episode dedicated to Kurosawa's use of motion in his films.
         | It's fascinating. I have to say that frames from even his
         | earlier films look like paintings to me.

       | That looks more like concept art than story board

       | Also really enjoyed Satyajit Ray's storyboards for the Apu
       | Trilogy. Sketchier than Kurasawa's, but thrilling nonetheless and
       | greatly increasing the pleasure of watching or rewatching the
       | films.

       | Unfortuately I can't can't seem to find them online aside from a
       | few thumbnails. They were published in book form a few years ago;
       | maybe that's why.
