THE HIDDEN FORTRESS - AKIRA KUROSAWA

Directed by Akira Kurosawa

Japan, 1958, 2h 19min, DCP, In Japanese with English subtitles

Akira Kurosawa’s adventure epic may be best known today as the blueprint for George Lucas’ STAR WARS, but there’s far more to the film than that. This is masterful storytelling with exciting action and a rousing performance from Toshiro Mifune as an undercover general. One of the master’s greatest works.
