FOUR TIMES A'READY!
Today's NYTimes Best 1176 Film was Kurosawa's
This classic, a masterpiece, is still hot stuff after a half a century.
The question of truth and its versions has been addressed by other directors since then but the template is still Kurosawa's wonderful film.
And the wonderful actor Mifune. I notice that in many shots he looks like James Dean! Really. Obviously not the one shown. I will have to find one.
The Criterion restoration is quite wonderful.
A 5 out of Netflix5.
