Film Description

Shows Kurosawa's lightest touch in dealing with the Samurai genre. With a heady blend of traditional Japanese theatrical conventions and the language of Western film-making, Sanjuro is a masterpiece of comedy-drama, with a final fight scene so swift and violent that it prompted Alexander Walker, film critic of the London Evening Standard to write, 'Don't sit too near the screen!'.
