In a mad world, only the mad are sane. — Akira Kurosawa
Today marks the 100th birthday of filmmaker Akira Kurosawa (March 23, 1910 — September 6, 1998), the master of everything from samurai epics to Shakespeare, and indelible dreams to gritty noir. In celebration, the Criterion Collection has released Yojimbo and Sanjuro on Blu-Ray, and if you want more, check out Criterion’s 25-DVD box set, AK 100. If I had that set, I’d start by watching every film featuring Toshiro Mifune.
