SEVEN SAMURAI
Special Features: 4K Restoration
[SHICHININ NO SAMURAI] [七人の侍]
Hailed as one of the greatest films of all time, SEVEN SAMURAI has spawned imitations, including THE WILD BUNCH and 1960’s THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, but remains unsurpassed in its virtuosity — due in large part to filmmaker Akira Kurosawa’s star and key collaborator, actor Toshirō Mifune, who cites this role as his all-time favorite. Farmers in a small hamlet hire seven samurai to protect them from pillagers. Though the village can only offer food in payment, each samurai takes on the near-suicidal mission for his own personal reasons. DIR/SCR Akira Kurosawa; SCR Shinobu Hashimoto, Hideo Oguni; PROD Sōjirō Motoki. Japan, 1954, b&w, 217 min. including a 15-min. intermission. In Japanese with English subtitles. NOT RATED
