“Talking of Kurosawa, a poignant tale: Stanley [Kubrick] received a fan letter from Kurosawa in the late 1990s and was so touched by it. It meant more to him than any Oscar would. He agonized over how to reply, wrote innumerable drafts, but somehow couldnt quite get the tenor and tone right. Weeks went by, and then months, still agonizing. Then he decided enough was enough, the reply had to go, and before the letter was sent Kurosawa died. Stanley was deeply upset.”
