Sanjuro (A Requisite Cinema Screening) / Japan/ 1962/ Dir: Akira Kurosawa/ 95 Min/ Current Rotten Tomatoes Score: 96%
Toshiro Mifune swaggers and snarls to brilliant comic effect in Akira Kurosawa's tightly paced, beautifully composed _Sanjuro._ In this sly companion piece to _Yojimbo,_ jaded samurai Sanjuro helps an idealistic group of young warriors weed out their clan's evil influences, and in the process turns their image of a "proper" samurai on its ear. Less brazen in tone than its predecessor but equally entertaining, this classic character's return is a masterpiece in its own right.
Sanjuro is screening as part of an ongoing Requisite Cinema spotlight showcasing Janus Films' 2025 restoration work of many of Akira Kurosawa's most celebrated works. Check Broadwaytheatre.ca for more titles!
