Akira Kurosawa and samurai cinema classics

Review For: Yojimbo/Sanjuro (DVD, 2007, 2-Disc Set)

These two movies are the zenith of chambara/jidai geki films.If you're familiar with classic Saturday Night Live with John Belushi these two films is where he got inspiration for his "samurai" character.Toshiro Mifune and Tatsuya Nakadai give performances that will impress the fans of samurai cinema.The end duel in Sanjuro has stuck with me since i first saw this film at the old Toho Theater in Hawaii.I was 3 years old.Mifunes anti-bushido character inspired many knock offs in the chambara genre,but here it is fresh and vital.Yojimbo is a film that EVERYONE loves.In Japan they said the kids loved Yojimbo and the adults loved Sanjuro.I love both films but because Sanjuro was my first theater film ever it has been my favorite film of all time for decades.The humor in both films is what the makes them great.Although the action alone would make them outstanding films the dark humor in Yojimbo and the cynical snipes Mifune quips in Sanjuro towards the hapless 9 young samurai make these films more personal.If you get a chance add these to your library if you haven't already.

Yojimbo/Sanjuro (2007, DVD) Review

Review For: Yojimbo/Sanjuro (DVD, 2007, 2-Disc Set)

I bought this DVD set because I love Akira Kurosawa's movies, and I needed to add these movies back into my collection. I sold the old non-anamorphic versions so I could get these re-issues from Criterion--they are worth every penny.

Two great swashbucklers

Review For: Yojimbo/Sanjuro (DVD, 2007, 2-Disc Set)

This is a lovely package put out by Criterion. A vast improvement over previous releases on tape. If you haven't seen the work of the masters, Kurosawa and Mifune, you are missing some real treats, action adventures with brains AND heart.
