Zach welcomes film aficionado Rashmi Menon to the program for an experience of high drama and methodical detail as they unravel Akira Kurosawa's 1963 suspense classic, HIGH & LOW.

Listen closely to each detail as the two unravel the story of Kurosawa's life and start in film, marvel at the way a lesser pulp novel is transformed into an intricate social commentary, stand back aghast at the extremely intricate details which gave Kurosawa praise, break down the two separate yet synchronized storytelling modes of the film, and ponder on how the film's influence can be seen to this very minute.
