The Art of Akira Kurosawa: A Retrospective
A sweeping retrospective of Akira Kurosawa explores the visionary filmmaker’s epic storytelling, moral complexity, and enduring influence on filmmaking around the world.
About the film:
The incomparable Toshiro Mifune stars in Akira Kurosawa’s visually stunning and darkly comic, Yojimbo. To rid a terror-stricken village of corruption, wily masterless samurai Sanjuro turns a range war between two evil clans to his own advantage.
Remade twice, by Sergio Leone and Walter Hill, this exhilarating genre-twister remains one of the most influential and entertaining films of all time.
