Review of Kagemusha (1980)

By Taylor N (159) on 04 Jan 2015

The worst Kurosawa movie I've seen. Many of the shots are gorgeous, but it's overly long, and gets tedious toward the end…

Review of Kagemusha (1980)

By Anna B (1,143) on 21 Jul 2014

Some late Kurasawa movie magic. Kagemusha (meaning Shadow Warrior in Japanese)is a must see. Everything about this movie is incredible…

Review of Kagemusha (1980)

By Matt H (2,287) on 27 Jun 2014

Interesting story that unfortunately goes on way too long; I think an hour could pretty easily be edited out of this…

Review of Kagemusha (1980)

By Michael S (3,461) on 30 May 2014

Basically every time I re watch a Kurosawa film I gain an all new appreciation for the film itself and for him as a director…

Review of Kagemusha (1980)

By Alejandro R (314) on 17 May 2014

Another amazing Kurosawa contribution! I added this to my Netflix list some months ago not even knowing it was one of his…

Review of Kagemusha (1980)

By James M (2,946) on 13 Apr 2014

Another perfect samurai epic by Akira Kurosawa…

Review of Kagemusha (1980)

By Kevin J (569) on 10 Apr 2014

This was my first time watching a film by Akira Kurosawa and I was anything but disappointed…

Review of Kagemusha (1980)

By Kkl10 A (65) on 10 Apr 2014

Kagemusha (1980) - 7,5 In the Sengoku period of Japan, Takeda Shingen, notable warlord and leader of the Takeda clan, is fatally injured in…

Review of Kagemusha (1980)

By Beth W (118) on 21 Mar 2014

This is the third film I have seen by Kurosawa after Rashomon and Ran, and while I admit it didn't engage me as much as the other two films…

Review of Kagemusha (1980)

By Themumblelover . (186) on 06 Mar 2014

A superbly directed and shot film and acted brilliantly, the film does tend to lull in the middle but it draws you in magically…

Review of Kagemusha (1980)

By Dustin D (712) on 03 Feb 2014

This film is on a long list of Japanese movies remade in the West…

Review of Kagemusha (1980)

By Bill T (1,098) on 12 Dec 2013

Sort of boring, turned it off 20 mins in. Sorry Akira. :(…

Review of Kagemusha (1980)

By Keenan S (659) on 29 Nov 2013

This has only been my second Akira Kurosawa film, but I must say, that I'm already extremely impressed after only seeing two films of his…

Review of Kagemusha (1980)

By Patrick P (285) on 25 Oct 2013

The funny thing is, it seems this picture has more in common with Dersu Uzala than it does with Ran…

Review of Kagemusha (1980)

By Christy P (99) on 23 Aug 2013

Towards the end of his career, Kurosawa began having difficulty securing funding for his increasingly ambitious projects, which led to gaps…

Towards the end of his career, Kurosawa began having difficulty securing funding for his increasingly ambitious projects, which led to gaps…

Review of Kagemusha (1980)

By Marc R (473) on 22 Jul 2013

Bleak and cynical like many of Kurosawa's pictures, Kagemusha is a simply told, sometimes slow, yet thoughtful epic of great painterly beauty…

Review of Kagemusha (1980)

By Alex V (837) on 28 Apr 2013

Kagemusha is a simply structured film which quite often expands into territories of dreamlike poetry…

Review of Kagemusha (1980)

By Jesse L (481) on 23 Apr 2013

Pretty much a dress rehearsal for Ran, a lot less narrative…

Review of Kagemusha (1980)

By Scott C (2,765) on 20 Apr 2013

I thought it was visually amazing, but found it a tad long and boring…
