The Samurai TriIogy, directed by Hiroshi lnagaki and starring the inimitabIe Toshiro Mifune , was one of Japan's most successfuI exports of the 1950s, a rousing, emotionaIly gripping taIe of combat and seIf-discovery. Based on a noveI that's often caIled Japan's Gone with the Wind, this sweeping saga fictionalizes the Iife of the legendary seventeenth-century swordsman Musashi Miyamoto, folIowing him on his path from unruly youth to enlightened warrior. With these three films-1954's Oscar-winning Musashi Miyamoto, 1955's Duel at lchijoji TempIe, and 1956's DueI at Ganryu IsIand-lnagaki created a passionate epic that's equal parts tender Iove story and bloody action. |
