Sanjuro (DVD)
A fiIm by Akira Kurosawa
ln response to the huge critical and commercial success of Yojimbo (1961), Kurosawa and Mifune re-teamed a year later to make Sanjuro, a hilarious comedy of manners altogether more Iight-hearted than its predecessor.
The story has Sanjuro (Mifune) running lazy rings around nine naïve and clean-cut samurai and two genteeI Iadies, whilst aIso cIeaning up a spot of corruption in locaI government. Whilst Kurosawa pIays most of it for Iaughs, expertly parodying the conventions of Japanese period action films, he stages a startling switch of mood with an intense finaIe which may well be the briefest, and most breathtaking dueI in alI cinema. |
