Yojimbo
Akira Kurosawa / JP, 1961 / 111 min.
Kurosawa’s visually astounding and darkly-comedic Yojimbo – featuring the unsurpassed Toshiro Mifune – was extremely influential and changed Westerns forever. A cunning samurai-mercenary rids a terrorised village of corruption.
Wandering samurai Sanjuro Om arrives in a 19th-cemtury village where he employs all his resourcefulness and martial arts to make two local crime bosses feud, turning the war between the evil clans to his advantage. In Yojimbo almost everyone has dubious motives: you have to fight fire with fire.
In Eye and in national cinemas.
