In fact, Much of Kurosawa’s early career was spent making crime thrillers in parallel with the film noir styles of classic Hollywood.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eHigh and Low may be the last time that Kurosawa took on a modern crime story, but it’s worth asking after a masterpiece like this, what more could he have left to say in the genre? Part family drama, part thriller, part criminal investigation, Kurosawa’s command of technique and storytelling weave a complex intrigue into something entirely compelling, even over a more than 2 hour runtime.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eIn a career full of masterpieces, it’s impossible to say that High and Low is the director’s best work, but it certainly occupies the rarified air alongside Ran, Yojimbo, Seven Samurai, Ikiru, and Dreams.
