The Idiot

Arriving in Sapporo, Akama (Toshiro Mifune) points out a camera-store photo of Takeo (Setsuko Hara), to Kameda (Masayuki More, title character), who will soon join his hosts, the Onos (Takashi Shimura, Chieko Higashiyama, Yoshiko Kuga) in Akira Kurosawa's version of Dostoyevsky's The Idiot, Hakuchi, 1951.

Kameda (Masayuki Mori, title character), having seen her photo, is stupefied upon meeting Takeo (Setsuko Hara), who has been sold in marriage to Kayama (Minoru Chiaki), who introduces his family (Eiko Miyoshi, Noriko Sengoku, Kuninori Kodo) in Akira Kurosawa's Dostoyevsky adaptation, Hakuchi, 1951.

Substantially faithful to the Dostoyevsky novel, to which the text refers, though re-set by writer-director Akira Kurosawa in post-WWII Japan, Masayuki Mori is the title character Kameda, Toshiro Mifune his more worldly new friend Akama, opening Hakuchi. a.k.a The Idiot, 1951.
