Follow the signs for the Theater Entrance from the parking lot.
Japan/1954 | Dir. Akira Kurosawa
Consistently called one of the best movies ever made, with an influence on movie-making that resonates to the present day. In 16th century Japan, a small village is regularly plundered by bandits until a band of unemployed samurai agree to train the defenseless farmers to fight.
Kurosawa’s masterpiece is one of the most influential battle epics ever filmed, and above all a timeless fable about bravery, friendship, and character. This special screening will be introduced by Linda Hoaglund, translator for the film’s 2006 revised English subtitles. (207 min. with one intermission)
“One of the greatest of all films.” —Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
