When Sanjuro wanders into a town terrorized by an ongoing war between two factions, he decides to make a fistful of ryo—and have a little fun—by cleaning up the place. Hiring himself first to one group, then the other, he eventually encourages them to kill each other off. Alluding to Japan's own "gold rush" in the passing from feudal to capitalist society, Yojimbo was inspired by the American Western and combines its best elements—a remarkable authenticity, finely drawn characters, brilliant comedy, superb editing, and exquisite widescreen cinematography (by Kazuo Miyagawa). Kurosawa makes extensive and surprising use of the telephoto lens, so that the most violent swordfights take on a rare intimacy, and the heroic/antiheroic figure of Sanjuro seems to expand absurdly to epic proportions."--Judy Bloch, Pacific Film Archive program note. 541 0 |3PFA 1616-01-15472. |aD0003 |cdonation |d 2012/12/31 |5CBPF 546 In Japanese with English subtitles. 590 PFA 1616-01-15472.|aCONDITION NOTE: Checked: light to moderate base scratches throughout; reel 3 has slightly heavier scratching; slightly muddy print; good to fair condition 650 0 Samurai|xEconomic conditions|vDrama. 650 0 Bushido. 650 0 Silk industry|xEmployees. 650 0 Dueling|zJapan|vDrama. 650 0 Murder. 650 0 Outlaws|zJapan|vDrama. 650 0 Self-preservation|vDrama. 650 0 Poor families|zJapan|vDrama. 650 0 Deception. 650 0 Brigands and robbers. 651 0 Japan. 655 7 Samurai films.|2lcgft 655 7 Action and adventure films.|2lcgft 655 7 Feature films.|2lcgft 655 7 Crime films.|2lcgft 690 Japanese films 700 1 Kurosawa, Akira,|d1910-1998,|efilm director,|efilm producer,|escreenwriter,|eeditor of moving image work. 700 1 Tanaka, Tomoyuki,|efilm producer. 700 1 Kikushima, Ryūzō,|d1914-1989,|escreenwriter,|efilm producer. 700 1 Oguni, Hideo,|d1904-1996,|escreenwriter. 700 1 Miyagawa, Kazuo,|d1908-1999,|edirector of cinematography. 700 1 Muraki, Yoshirō,|eproduction designer,|ecostume designer. 700 1 Satō, Masaru,|d1928-1999,|ecomposer (expression) 700 1 Mifune, Toshirō,|d1920-1997,|eactor. 700 1 Nakadai, Tatsuya,|d1932-|eactor. 700 1 Shimura, Takashi,|d1905-1982,|eactor. 700 1 Sawamura, Ikio,|d1905-1975,|eactor. 700 1 Fujiwara, Kamatari,|d1905-1985,|eactor. 700 1 Yamada, Isuzu,|d1917-2012,|eactor. 700 1 Katō, Daisuke,|d1911-1975,|eactor. 700 1 Tsukasa, Yōko,|d1934-|eactor. 710 2 Audio Brandon Films. 710 2 Tōhō Kabushiki Kaisha. 956 20170213 |bpfmcq|cCO 957 OCLC xref loaded 20170226 994 C0|bCUY
