With a near clean lineup of masterpieces under his belt, nobody could fault Kurosawa for wanting to make a simple piece of entertainment. This simple aspiration did not stop him from making another hugely influential success. One of Kurosawa’s most impressive, featuring some superbly staged sword battles and exceptional use of complex widescreen compositions.
Toshiro Mifune reprises his famous role from Akira Kurosawa’s YOJIMBO (1961) in the entertaining sequel SANJURO, in which the renegade samurai becomes involved with a group of young idealists determined to end the graft and corruption overrunning their land.
