Film: Seven Samurai (Japanese with English subtitles)
Directed by: Akira Kurosawa
Duration: 3 hrs 15 mins
One of the greatest and most influential films of all time, Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai has left an indelible mark on cinema and inspired countless films. Right from the characters to the craft cinematography and even the music makes the 3 hour plus duration feel like a breeze.
In all films that followed, the trope of assembling a team for a mission is derived from this Kurosawa film. Right from the The Magnificent Seven to Sholay, the influence of the Seven Samurai is obvious.
The story is about villagers who hire samurais to deal with bandits, who exploit them.
This is a one of its kind opportunity to watch a classic on the big screen.
