🇯🇵 YOJIMBO (1961) - with English subtitles and drinks

► ABOUT THE MOVIE
The film that redefined the antihero and reshaped action cinema forever...

Sharp-witted, stylish, and darkly comic, Akira Kurosawa’s Yojimbo is a masterclass in cinematic cool. Toshiro Mifune stars as a mysterious, wandering ronin who arrives in a lawless town torn between two rival gangs. With cunning and swordplay, he manipulates both sides against each other, playing them like pieces on a chessboard—until the stakes turn deadly.

With Yojimbo, Kurosawa blends samurai tradition with Western film noir and spaghetti western aesthetics, paving the way for countless reinterpretations—from Sergio Leone’s A Fistful of Dollars to Tarantino’s Kill Bill. It’s a sharp satire of violence, greed, and power, told with Kurosawa’s signature precision and flair.
