Review of Kagemusha (1980) by Jon G — 03 Nov 2007
You are done watching this film, and all you can think is...the man was 70 years old when he made this film... With the financial help of American fanboys Francis Coppola and George Lucas, Akira Kurosawa was able to create this brooding masterpiece of dual identities, royal scheming and betrayal that is as compelling as it is tragic.
At the center, a mesmerizing performance by classical Japanese actor, Tatsuya Nakadai as both an aging warlord and the theif chosen to double him.
