The incomparable Toshiro Mifune stars in Akira Kurosawa's visually stunning and darkly comic Yojimbo (Bodyguard). In order to rid a village of corruption, masterless samurai Sanjuro turns a territory war between two evil clans to his own advantage. This exhilarating gangster-Western remains one of the most influential and entertaining genre-twisters ever produced. Criterion is proud to present Yojimbo in a luminous Tohoscope transfer. |
