Alex and Eli discuss Akira Kurosawa’s “High and Low”’, a police procedural that goes far beyond meticulous detective work. In this episode, we explore how Kurosawa uses impeccable blocking and stunning cinematography to craft a powerful commentary on class, wealth, and power—one that remains as relevant today as it was in 1963.
