Arguably the most celebrated Japanese filmmaker of all time, Akira Kurosawa had a career that spanned from World War II to the early 90s, and that stands as a monument of artistic and personal achievement. While his Samurai films are only a small selection of his filmography, they undoubtedly helped to form his legecy. With Shakespearean tales, war, action, history, philosophy, and more, we are excited to present this selection of profoundly impactful films that provided the inspiration for A Fistful of Dollars, The Magnificant Seven, George Lukas' Star Wars, and many more.
