Seven Samurai
Like most epics, Seven Samurai has a simple plot: beleaguered farmers hire a makeshift army of samurai to defend their crops from bandits. The no-nonsense Takashi Shimura holds down the fort alongside Toshiro Mifune as a hot-headed but loyal mischief-maker. Akira Kurosawa’s definitive masterpiece is rife with extraordinary action scenes and moments of serene beauty, embodied by the supernaturally skilled swordsman played by Seiji Miyaguchi whose practice sessions are pure poetry.
