Yojimbo

The bodyguard
Dec 10, 2018Ron@Ottawa rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
This is one of earlier works by Kurosawa on the samurai genre. The film is so old that this film copy fills only 1/4 of TV screen. But the B/W images are sharp and the sound track is good. Although there is a little bit of 'over acting' by some small characters in my view, Mifune played his role to the tee. Another key, villainous character, played by Tatsuya Nakadai, added more substance to the cast. This is a timeless classic from the samurai genre and deserves repeated viewings down the road.
