Review of Kagemusha (1980) by Brad S — 12 Jun 2015
- This is a great film that I hadn't seen in a while. It is considered by many to be Kurosawa's warm-up for his masterpiece "Ran", which is also one of my all-time faves. But, watching this again, and in particular the Blu-ray version, I was really able to appreciate this film for its own qualities. There are some absolutely breathtaking shots in this film, and I also enjoyed the story. It does move at a leisurely pace at times, and is 3hrs long, but the visually beauty, particularly on blu-ray can hold your attention. Highly recommended!
- This is a very good, but leisurely paced film. It is gorgeously photographed and definitely an epic film, but might be best watched in 2 sittings. This was Kurosawa's warm-up for "Ran"" which is his definitive Masterpiece, but this is very much worth watching. Check it out!
