Akira Kuwosawa - Yojimbo


Stunning cinema. Japan was demilitarised post-WWII era which is a good recipe for a thriving arts scene. Kurosawa pioneered the action film with moving cameras. He was inspired by American Westerns and they would then be influenced by him, with the American remake of the Seven Samurai named the Magnificent Seven. Action films and how to make them would be changed forever. He also has the dexterity to make a good story. His films have been adored by critics and fans the world over.
