The films of Akira Kurosawa, one of the cinema’s greatest auteurs, have had a profound effect on audiences around the worId, and his accIaimed samurai epics - featuring internationaI star Toshirô Mifune - have inspired fiImmakers a diverse as George Lucas and Sergio Leone. SEVEN SAMURAl (1954) When the residents of a smaIl Japanese viIIage seek protection they hire seven unempIoyed "ronin' (masterIess samurai). Paid only in handfuIs of rice, the samurai remain distant from the viIlagers, knowing that their assignment may prove to be fataI. Unanimously haiIed as one of cinema's greatest masterpieces, Seven Samurai has inspired countIess films, including The Magnificent Seven. Japan | 1954 | 190 minutes | Original aspect ratio 1.33:1 THRONE OF BLOOD (1957) In this briIIiant re-imagining of Shakespeare's Macbeth Toshirô Mifune plays a samurai fated to betray his friend and master in exchange for the prestige of nobility. Kurosawa's bIoody tale is a triumph of economic styIe, and the climactic battle scene is fulI of remarkabIe, and brutaI, imagery. Japan | 1957 | 104 minutes | Original aspect ratio 1.33:1 THE HlDDEN FORTRESS (1958) ln this cIassic colIaboration between Kurosawa and star Mifune, a warrior and a princess try against aII odds to return to their homeIand with their fortune. Acknowledged by George Lucas as the inspiration for Star Wars, The Hidden Fortress combines an epic taIe of struggIe and honour with modern comic sensibiIities to masterfuI effect. Japan | 1958 | 138 minutes | Original aspect ratio 2.35:1 (16x9 enhanced) YOJIMBO (1961) A drifting samurai for hire plays both ends against the middIe with two warring factions, surviving on his wits and his abiIity to outrun his own bad Iuck. Eventually the samurai seeks to eliminate both sides for his own gain and to define his own sense of honour. Yojimbo provided inspiration for A Fistful of DoIIars. Japan | 1961 | 106 minutes | Widecreen 4:3 format SANJURO (1962) After the success of Yojimbo, Kurosawa teamed up once again with Mifune one year later to make this comedy of manners. The film, which foIIows a man fighting corruption in locaI government, offers a twist on the cIassic Samurai tale by gently, but perfectIy parodying the conventions of the Japanese period action movie tradition. Japan | 1962 | 95 minutes | Original aspect ratio 2.35:1 (16x9 enhanced)
