Seven Samurai
This event occurred as part of the 25/26 Hop Film season. This is an archived view.
Facing a looming bandit raid, a peasant village recruits a motley crew of warriors to protect them in Akira Kurosawa's samurai saga.
Over the course of this three-hour thrill ride, Akira Kurosawa demonstrates an absolute mastery of the cinematic medium. The film is a feast for the senses with expert orchestration of swords, men, horses, rain and mud; dynamic and striking cinematography, and a phenomenal cast that gives three dimensionality to every character. With an electric performance by legendary actor Toshirô Mifune as a manic goofball who transitions to tragic hero over the course of the film, this samurai saga set the high-water mark for the ensemble action film.
D: Akira Kurosawa, Japan, 1954, 3h27m, Subtitled
