Review of Seven Samurai (1954) by Tim S — 30 Mar 2012
Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai is not merely a film classic, but a film great. One that, like Kurosawa's other work, has lived on through critics and film enthusiasts alike. The story itself has been remade countless times in different settings, different time periods and with different story aspects, but the original film still manages to remain untarnished.
It's just as spectacular as it was when it first premiered in 1954. It's considered by the country it originates from to be the greatest Japanese film ever made, and I can definitely understand why.
It's absolutely superb in ever detail. Its nearly 3 1/2 hour length will likely turn off most modern viewers, but those looking for a great film experience need look no further.
