| Toshiro Mifune swaggers, scratches, and snarls to brilliant comic
effect in Akira Kurosawa's Sanjuro. Mifune plays a jaded samurai who
comes to the aid of an idealistic but confused group of young
warriors. As he helps them weed out the evil influences in their clan,
he also turns their image of a "proper samurai"--and ours--on its
ear. Tightly paced, with broad humor and riveting action sequences,
Kurosawa's stunning compositions can now be seen as intended, in the
original widescreen format. Sanjuro features: - new
widescreen transfer in the original aspect ratio of 2.35:1
- new
electronic subtitles
