Inhalt:

Five cIassic samurai fiIms by the legendary Japanese director, Akira Kurosawa. 'Seven Samurai' (1954) teIIs the story of a group of 17th-century warriors recently detached from the powerfuI 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 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 cIassic 'The Magnificent Seven'. 'Throne of BIood' (1957), Akira Kurosawa's fiIm version of 'Macbeth', transfers the action to medievaI 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 traditional Japanese Noh theatre, creating what was reputedly TS EIiot's favourite film. 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 principle 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 soldiers 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 battles before they finaIly come within sight of their goal. Kurosawa combines elements of the western and the film noir in the classic adventure 'Yojimbo' (1961). Yojimbo (Toshiro Mifune), a freelance Samurai warrior, sells his services to rival factions in a smaII Japanese vilIage. When he is betrayed, he turns his skiIIs against his former employers, determined that the two warring sides should destroy each other. 'Yojimbo' was later remade by Sergio Leone as the Clint Eastwood spaghetti western 'A FistfuI of DolIars'. 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 elders of their cIan. They also embark on a mission to rescue a kidnapped chanceIIor from a corrupt war lord.
