Overview:	The famous story of the too honest and good-hearted prince, the perverse beauty, and the gloomy merchant's son takes place in Hokkaido instead of Petersburg. The beauty toys with the affections of both men, while the prince is also attracted to an upstanding general's daughter. After his international breakthrough and success with Rashomon, Kurosawa updated Dostoyevsky's novel with this minor classic. Following closely the plot of his favorite literary work in a slavish manner, the Japanese master managed to capture the original's greatness, filtered through his own sensibility.
