Last week: Alfonso Cuarón

This week: Akira Kurosawa

Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa, a legend of cinema. Not only one of the most influential directors in film history, but for some he's the greatest filmmaker of all time.

What does ktt think?

Throne of Blood is my favourite of his

Its also the best Macbeth adaption imo

Need to watch more of his stuff

polanski's >>

what of his have you seen already?

High and Low top 10 of all time

The Godfather of Japanese cinema alongside Ozu

Red Beard is unreal, Seven Samurai lives up to the hype and then some

Just watched that for the first time a few months back, really enjoyed it

7 samurai that is

He inspired my favorite Asian action film of all time so he’s already a goat just for that.. and that’s not even talking about the films he made himself yet

I think Dreams is the best movie to throw on if youre on hallucinogenics and want to trip out

What movie you talking about?

Have to correct myself, not just from Asia, but it’s actually one of my favorite action films from any country ever

Hands down my fav Asian director though

Legend of Japanese cinema among Ozu, Kobayashi, Naruse, Mizoguchi, etc. Ran is by far his best.

Derzu Uzala is also his beautiful film about civilization vs nature

GOAT

The more I watch the more I see what Abbas saw

Gotta get into his filmog

I’ve been exploring the Asian filmmakers influenced by him but have yet to get to him. Ran looks so good tho

Ran is the best movie ever made, the acting during the ghost makeup scenes were phenomenal. Rewatched Yojimbo and Seven Samurairecently too very fun stuff. Yojimbo is especially hilarious If you want to read a manga with similar themes check out Vanguard, just finished the last chapter and it’s veery pretentious but also gripping and inventive

Drunken Angel #1

You could easily argue him as the greatest of all time, he's a perfectionist

Ran is my favourite

One of the greatest of all time. Anything that could be said about him will sound banal because his tremendous talent has already been acknowledged countless times. Love the way he composed movement on multiple scales, he could make a lot of things happen in a single static shot. My favorite of his is “Ran”.

Oh this one has been on my watchlist for awhile now I f*** with Miike too, even tho i've only seen two of his films so far

Seven samurai was fantastic

I loved 7 samurai, sanjuro, and i liked rashomon(some aspects of it were kinda annoying but i liked),

I need to get on this
