PART OF A LINCOLN FILM SERIES: KUROSAWA / MIFUNE

CLICK HERE FOR MORE

Join us at the Lincoln Theatre for our film series Kurosawa / Mifune.

In the 1950s and '60s, director Akira Kurosawa and actor Toshirô Mifune were an unstoppable team, creating 16 films together that form the bedrock of modern Japanese cinema.

Kurosawa once said, "All the films that I made with Mifune, without him, they would not exist," while Mifune himself claimed, "I have never as an actor done anything that I am proud of other than with him."

Come see for yourself what Kurosawa and Mifune were so proud of -- here are four films that rank among the greatest ever made, inspiring countless filmmakers for decades to come.

August 27: Seven Samurai

A veteran samurai answers a village's request for protection after he falls on hard times. The town needs protection from bandits, so the samurai gathers six others to help him teach the people how to defend themselves, and the villagers provide the soldiers with food. A giant battle occurs when 40 bandits attack the village.

Undisputedly one of the greatest films ever made -- and the fastest three-and-a-half hours you'll ever spend watching a movie -- Seven Samurai is presented in a brand-new 4K restoration.

Directed by Akira Kurosawa

Starring Toshirô Mifune, Takashi Shimura, Daisuke Katō, Isao Kimura, Minoru Chiaki, Seiji Miyaguchi, Yoshio Inaba
