The Doc Films student society hosts an Akira Kurosawa take on Shakespeare as part of its long-running screening series. A modern Japanese reworking of Hamlet, The Bad Sleep Well follows a businessman working within a corrupt corporation with the hope of exposing the men who killed his father. A lesser-known work by the undisputed master of samurai cinema (see Seven Samurai and Yojimbo if you have any doubts of his dominance), this black-and-white film offers insight into an alternate kind of Kurosawa artistry.
