Although screening in Cannes most likely would of elevated his career to important levels. I think fault lies more on Kurosawa and/or Toho, for there lack of Cannes entries. As for the current festival, few films do I know anything about, and the America films being screened there really have no business in that competition- there all rather lacking.
