Dick Cavett is a true intellectual, and how refreshing to see the people he got on his show. A breath of fresh air during his time, and well liked by the "hippie" generation. Conan is my second favorite, but Dick will always be my number one....and yes, I know what I just typed.

Modern talk shows are such trash relative to the past. They’re not even funny. Craig Ferguson was the last good late night show.

This is the first time 😮Even Dick was nervous in this interview, u know how great Kurosawa’s presence was.

It is most rare that a director can both a great artist and a great poet. Kurosawa was both.

I keep imagining Kurosawa when answering a question...suddenly looking at Cavett in total rage, starts yelling/screaming in Japanese and trying to 'reach' for something in his jacket...only to suddenly be held back by two security. Being held back, Kurosawa's tears his glasses off and bloodshot eyes is staring at Cavett while screaming out more in Japanese. The woman translator listening to what Kurosawa is screaming and then replies "Mr. Kurosawa does enjoy American movies, and he is also a fan of your show."

I love Cavett but he could have prepared better questions for the occasion. Missed opportunity

I met Dick Cavett many times in NY, he spoke some Japanese. He showed up to many Japanese events and performances. This interpreter is terrible, she doesn't convey one 3rd of what Kurosawa was saying, and she is not translating what Dick was asking....

Great interview, could have done with less questions all about the war though. Some of the questions felt a bit heavier than necessary and kind of shitting on japan at times.

上質な番組だなぁ。素晴らしい

Peerless artisan. There is no doubt. I adore his craftsmanship.

Still looks better than the hi-vision transfer.

I can't stand translators. They have to translate everything.

8:08 Difficult to put a foreigner and a Japanese in the same film and make it believable. John Boorman did just that with Toshiro Mifune and Lee Marvin in Hell in the Pacific. It was a great movie. There was Ken Takakura and Robert Mitchum in The Yakuza. And let's not forget that, later, Ken Takakura and Michael Douglas were perfect together in Black Rain.

God, Kurosawa was such a based Chad with those sunglasses.

Cavett asked excellent questions.

> invite one of the best filmmakers of all time to your show > make him talk about how great American movies are and how he felt meeting American filmmakers Great job! Americans are so self centric.

height?

Great interview! It's always a pleasure to withstand Kurosawa-san.

Kurosawa 🎉akhira

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Seeing Kurosawa, one of the great heroes I have in my life, has been a huge pleasure.

Such a brilliant special conversation. Fuck man what the fuck happend to us ! We downgraded great joy so much from simplicity and silences

通訳の人、アカデミー名誉賞受賞した時の人や！

There will never be another Akira Kurosawa but his movies are timeless and will last as long as there are people who take movies seriously.

I guess despite being a perfectionist, Kurosawa was soft spoken and patient.

I loved that moment of Zen modesty when Kurosawa-san commented about his popularity at about 03:20.

Man this is refreshing. cavett was very patient and allowed the moment to pass. I feel talk show hosts today, seem to not ALLOW a moment of silence and reflection. they fixate on being as outrageous and hyper as possible instead of actually Interviewing the guest and let us get to know them.

Diane Keaton did a great job translating here!

The GOAT.

20:20 - Kurosawa would venture through Ran and make one of the most beautiful color films ever made.

utterly excellent interview, fabulous work from ms. translator. I say im fluent in japanese but now only realising like that of maybe an 8 year old! this is the real deal, i'm so enthralled!

Regarding the notion of a foreigner and a Japanese actor staring in the same film.....Lee Marvin and Toshiro Mifune, Hell in the Pacific 1968. A GREAT FILM!

Wow. Really is a rare treat to see him speak.

13:20 COUGH COUGH

His translator did an incredible job

Thanks

His body language totally changes at 15 minute mark when asked about being knocked back from the army in WW2.He didn't like that question.

YOOO this video betar not be deleted , like the rap song,s Villain or patriot , leave are music alone you Brian washen fools .

Thanks for uploading!

Cavitt is so high class as an interviewer because he makes the show just a conversation. But the audience do their part as well. The slower pace of the interview because of the translations is excellent. I would be glued to the Cavitt show if that was on today. Also, the translator was fantastic.

My fiancés father grew up in Manhattan and spent a good chunk of his childhood years going to a particular theater that would play Japanese movies. He introduced me to Yojimbo the other night. Completely blown away. I just finished The 7 Samurai and about to start The Hidden Fortress. This man was very ahead of his time. I’m a diehard Tarantino buff but like this man’s work just as equally. Glad I was introduced to his work as well as Mifunes acting

A master of his own kind - _Akira Kurosawa_ It seems almost unreal to think, like how many of the most influential figures of 20th century Cavett had interviewed. An historical archive which they are now.

Until you actually sit down and WATCH a film directed by this man you just will not “know”; an incredible filmmaker!!!

He asked the stupidest questions

My first time watching Ikiru today....just wow ❤️

Odd to me that Cavett is often praised as the greatest to ever do it. While it is the case that he interviewed an impressive number of remarkable guests, and that is on its own admirable, does anyone find that his questions tend to be shallow, superficial and slightly self serving? In almost every interview I’ve seen, he usually has a need to say something clever or passive aggressive. For example his weird request that the translator “speak full bodied” or his several questions concerning Kurosawa making a John Wayne movie only to point out that Mifune is short so it wouldn’t work. And then of course Cavett ends with a farewell spoken in Japanese and insists it’s because “he read somewhere the Japanese like it when you can speak a bit of their language.” More like he has a desperate need to impress. He probably doesn’t have ulterior motives but in the very least he is prone to sticking his foot in his mouth, asking simpleton questions and being smug.

genius

Thank you for the gem, didn't know Cavett interviewed Kurosawa...

When talk shows were toughtfull. Now we have Fallon´s fake laugh
