It's a podcast double doozer!  Renoir and Kurosawa both adapt the same play, over 2 decades apart.  Mifune and Gabin play the same roll.  One is set in the source's original Russia and the other in Edo-period Japan.  Both are about hope and despair at the limit of human poverty.  Is there more to this comparison than… the comparison?

If you'd like to watch ahead for next week's film, we will be discussing and reviewing Jacques Tati's Playtime (1967).
