Sanjuro
“Akira Kurosawa's Powerful and Newest Japanese Masterpiece”
DramaActionComedy
Toshiro Mifune swaggers and snarls to brilliant comic effect in Kurosawa's tightly paced, beautifully composed "Sanjuro." In this companion piece and sequel to "Yojimbo," jaded samurai Sanjuro helps an idealistic group of young warriors weed out their clan's evil influences, and in the process turns their image of a proper samurai on its ear.
VIBE
A masterclass in cool. This film oozes effortless style and sharp wit, blending thrilling samurai action with a cynical, yet ultimately hopeful, look at honor and corruption. It's a visual feast that's both grand and intimate.
