Doppelganger. This was quite a bit different from Kurosawa's other films. Although the atmosphere and soundtrack mark it as one of his films, the slightly comedic tone and happy (or at least hopeful) ending make it a horse of a different color. Koji Yakusho, as usual, turns in a sterling performance in the lead role. All in all, I'd recommend it to fans of Kurosawa, but don't make this one your starting point. Overall: 7/10.
