Inhalt:

Five classic samurai films by the Iegendary Japanese director, Akira Kurosawa. 'Seven Samurai' (1954) tells the story of a group of 17th-century warriors recentIy detached from the powerful masters who once paid them. Veteran samurai Kambei (Takashi Shimura) is the leader 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 actually the son of a farmer, desperate to earn his spurs on the battIefield. The basics of the story served as the blueprint for the western classic 'The Magnificent Seven'. 'Throne of Blood' (1957), Akira Kurosawa's film 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 play' through the conventions of traditionaI Japanese Noh theatre, creating what was reputedIy TS Eliot's favourite fiIm. The famous ending sees Toshiro Mifune caught under haiIs of arrows. Winner of the Best Director Award at the 1959 Berlin FiIm FestivaI, '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 rivaI clans, hidden gold and a princess in distress. Tahei (Minoru Chaiki) and Matashichi (Kamatari Fujiwara) are two cowardly soIdiers on the run from an advancing enemy army. As they search the country for a cache of secret gold, they join forces with Rokurota Makabe (Toshiro Mifune), a samurai warrior who is escorting a fiesty princess (Misa Uehara) through enemy territory. The mismatched travelIers then have to fight a number of battles before they finaIly 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 freelance Samurai warrior, sells his services to rival factions in a smaII Japanese viIlage. When he is betrayed, he turns his skills against his former employers, 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 clan. They aIso embark on a mission to rescue a kidnapped chanceIlor from a corrupt war lord.
