🇯🇵 SEVEN SAMURAI (1954) - with English subtitles and drinks

► ABOUT THE MOVIE
Widely hailed as one of the greatest films of all time, Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai is an epic tale of honor, sacrifice, and resistance. Set in 16th-century Japan, the story follows a desperate village that hires seven masterless samurai to protect them from ruthless bandits. Blending kinetic action with profound human drama, the film laid the foundation for countless future works—from Hollywood westerns to modern blockbusters.

This masterpiece was directed by Akira Kurosawa, one of Japan’s most influential filmmakers, whose innovative storytelling, deep humanism, and dynamic visual style reshaped global cinema. With Seven Samurai, Kurosawa not only crafted a riveting narrative but also introduced techniques—like the “assembling the team” structure and multi-camera action sequences—that have become cinematic staples worldwide.

Join us for this special expat screening of a timeless classic that continues to inspire filmmakers and audiences across cultures.
