Akira Kurosawa’s SEVEN SAMURAI,one of the greatest films of all time,has influenced the work of directors from George Lucas to Steven Spielberg, and spawned remakes, most notably John Sturges’ acclaimedThe Magnificent Seven.
In 16th-century Japan, a village is repeatedly attacked by merciless bandits, and village farmers ask an elderly, masterless samurai (Takashi Shimura) for help, offering nothing but food in return. He hesitantly agrees and assembles a band of warriors (the eponymous SEVEN SAMURAI) to defend and train the villagers.
Boasting terrific performances (with Shimura and Toshiro Mifune – as a peasant masquerading as a samurai – particularly memorable), superb camerawork, and expertly mounted battle sequences,Seven Samuraiis undoubtedly one of the greatest action movies ever made.
Newly restored by Toho in 4K and released by the BFI on blu ray in this limited edition 2-disc set with a book, a set of four postcards and a double-sided poster.
