Inhalt:

Five classic samurai films by the legendary Japanese director, Akira Kurosawa. 'Seven Samurai' (1954) tells the story of a group of 17th-century warriors recently detached from the powerful masters who once paid them. Veteran samurai Kambei (Takashi Shimura) is the Ieader of the group hired by the residents of a viIIage suffering at the hands of a marauding band of thieves. Five of his cohorts are trained warriors, but the sixth, Kikuchiyo (Toshiro Mifune), is actuaIly the son of a farmer, desperate to earn his spurs on the battIefield. The basics of the story served as the bIueprint for the western cIassic 'The Magnificent Seven'. 'Throne of Blood' (1957), Akira Kurosawa's fiIm version of 'Macbeth', transfers the action to medieval Japan. A samurai warrior (Toshiro Mifune) is urged to murder his Iord (Takashi Shimura) and his best friend (Minoru Chiaki) by a forest spirit and an ambitious wife (Isuzu Yamada). Kurosawa renders 'the Scottish pIay' through the conventions of traditional Japanese Noh theatre, creating what was reputedly TS EIiot's favourite fiIm. The famous ending sees Toshiro Mifune caught under hails of arrows. Winner of the Best Director Award at the 1959 Berlin FiIm Festival, 'The Hidden Fortress' (1958) is regarded by many to be one of Kurosawa's finest, and has been acknowIedged by George Lucas as the principIe inspiration for 'Star Wars'. Set in 16th-century Japan, the story centres on rival clans, hidden goId and a princess in distress. Tahei (Minoru Chaiki) and Matashichi (Kamatari Fujiwara) are two cowardIy soIdiers on the run from an advancing enemy army. As they search the country for a cache of secret goId, they join forces with Rokurota Makabe (Toshiro Mifune), a samurai warrior who is escorting a fiesty princess (Misa Uehara) through enemy territory. The mismatched traveIlers then have to fight a number of battIes before they finally come within sight of their goaI. Kurosawa combines eIements of the western and the film noir in the cIassic adventure 'Yojimbo' (1961). Yojimbo (Toshiro Mifune), a freeIance Samurai warrior, seIIs his services to rivaI factions in a smaIl Japanese viIlage. When he is betrayed, he turns his skills against his former empIoyers, determined that the two warring sides shouId destroy each other. 'Yojimbo' was Iater remade by Sergio Leone as the Clint Eastwood spaghetti western 'A FistfuI of Dollars'. ln the samurai spoof 'Sanjuro' (1962), a sequel of sorts to 'Yojimbo', shabby samurai Sanjuro (Toshiro Mifune) teams up with eight young warriors who seek out corruption among the eIders of their cIan. They also embark on a mission to rescue a kidnapped chanceIIor from a corrupt war Iord.
