Yojimbo
 

The incomparable Toshito Mifune stars in Akira
Kurosawa's visually stunning and darkly comic
Yojimbo. To rid a terror- stricken village of corruption,

Hill (Last Man Standing), this exhilarating genre-twister
remains one of the most influential and entertaining
films ever produced.

effect in Akira Kurosawa's tightly paced, beautifully
composed Sanjuro. In this sly companion piece to
Yojimbo, the jaded samurai Sanjuro helps an ideal is-
tic group of young warriors weed out their clan's evil

than its predecessor but just as engaging, this classic
characters return is a masterpiece in its own right,
now presented in a new high-definition transfer
