Director: Akira Kurosawa

Duration: 96 mins
Set in the mid-19th century when the disintegration of a rigid social structure was turning the once wealthy into paupers, or vice-versa, this kinetic drama by acclaimed Akira Kurosawa features the hero `Sanjuro’ (Toshiro Mifune), one of many samurai whose once traditional positions were fast disappearing.
In this tale of false perceptions and truth, of honor and dishonor, `Sanjuro’ is a character who captures and holds attention from the moment he appears on screen.
Among Kurosawa’s most well balanced films, `Sanjuro’ resounds with equal parts artistic intent and sheer entertainment value—the quality of Kurosawa’s greatest works.
