Akira Kurosawa: Master of Cinema

By Peter Cowie

Cowie shows how film director Akira Kurosawa took the samurai genre to its apogee in such films as Yojimbo and Seven Samurai, his predilection for the historical film and the importance of the traditional in his work. He also looks at Kurosawa's adaptations of Shakespeare and his examination of our everyday lives.
