Description


CLASSIC FILM SERIES

 


 

 

Seven Samurai  (1954)


“The glorious vigour and strength of this film is presented with such theatrical relish and flair: its energy flashes out of the screen like a sword."
- Peter Bradshaw, Guardian


“Every major and minor action director has picked up some tricks from this granddaddy of the form, including slo-mo deaths, "you are there" battle photography, incessant movement and tsunami swarms of attackers.”
- Jami Bernard, New York Daily News



SYNOPSIS: One of the most thrilling movie epics of all time, SEVEN SAMURAI (Shichinin no 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.
