Movie Description 1rm3d
Scandal is a 1950 film written and directed by Akira Kurosawa. The film stars Toshiro Mifune, Takashi Shimura and Shirley Yamaguchi.
Scandal was described by Kurosawa himself as a protest film about "the rise of the press in Japan and its habitual confusion of freedom with license. Personal privacy is never respected and the scandal sheets are the worst offenders."
It perhaps isn't coincidental that Mifune's character in the film is a painter. Kurosawa had toyed with the idea of becoming a painter before becoming a director, and always retained a ion for painting; he often painted the storyboards for his films.
