AKIRA KUROSAWA
SEVEN SAMURAI
One of the most thrilling movie epics of all time, Seven Samurai tells the story of a sixteenth-century village whose desperate inhabitants hire the eponymous warriors to protect them from invading bandits. This three-hour ride from Akira Kurosawa - featuring legendary actors Toshiro Mifune and Takashi Shimura - seamlessly weaves philosophy and entertainment, delicate human emotions and relentless action, into a rich, evocative, and unforgettable tale of courage and hope.
"Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samuari is an action-packed epic spooling in at a gargantuan 3 hours, but every black and white scene has something to keep the viewer hooked - be it the intense often noble acting, fabulous costumes or brilliant battle sequences... It may be a long haul but this "Far East Western" is a rich cinematic spectacle with a touching heart at its core." Nell Schofield, SUNDAY HERALD SUN
