Product description

Yojimbo & Sanjuro (4K UHD Set)
Director: Akira Kurosawa

Yojimbo

Like Seven Samurai (1954), Yojimbo was Kurosawa’s tribute to the widescreen action Westerns of John Ford and was itself remade as a Western by Sergio Leone as A Fistful of Dollars (1964). Played by the great Toshiro Mifune, the film’s enigmatic samurai is a scruffy and itinerant warrior who wanders into a strange town and right into the middle of a war between two clans. Showing his skills with the sword within minutes of his arrival, he soon has the town’s rival factions competing for his services.

Kurosawa’s genius for storytelling combines with thrilling swordplay, a healthy dose of black humour, a soundtrack every bit as atmospheric and amusing as Ennio Morricone’s, and a towering performance from Mifune, to make Yojimbo an irresistible widescreen action adventure.

Sanjuro

In response to the huge critical and commercial success of Yojimbo, Kurosawa and Mifune re-teamed a year later to make Sanjuro, a hilarious comedy of manners altogether more light-hearted than its predecessor.

The story has Sanjuro (Mifune) running lazy rings around nine naïve and clean-cut samurai and two genteel ladies, whilst also cleaning up a spot of corruption in local government. Whilst Kurosawa plays most of it for laughs, expertly parodying the conventions of Japanese period action films, he stages a startling switch of mood with an intense finale which may well be the briefest, and most breathtaking duel in all cinema.

    Amazing film from Akira Kurosawa, good action and a tight story line. Well worth watching for all fans of this genre. And its adaptation to the west as a Fist full of dollars. Great film.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Japanese film. Sergio Leone is said to have based “A Fistful of Dollars” on it.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 August 2018
    Verified Purchase
    Directed by Akira Kurosawa and starring Toshiro Mifune this is a classic Japanese Samurai film. If you don’t like Japanese films, you won’t like this. If on the other hand you’ve seen and enjoyed “Seven Samurai” you’ll enjoy this. You’ll particularly enjoy the references to films which have borrowed from “Yojimbo” primarily “A Fistful of Dollars”; come to think of it, you might benefit from watching the Clint Eastwood film before watching this. Another film which seems to have borrowed from this is “Last Man Standing” with Bruce Willis. If you know those two films then you get the idea of the plot of “Yojimbo”. A lone “gunman”, in this case a ronin, comes into town and decides to take on the two warring factions.
    This is not a wall-to-wall action film; there is a lot of scene setting and plotting. Some of the scenes are classic Western; the lone hero at one end of the street facing a dozen villains at the other.
    Sometimes the subtitles leave a lot to be desired; not because of the translations but because they are not always easy to read against the background. The score is interesting and often very subtle.
    It’s a classic and well worth watching.

    4.0 out of 5 stars An unusual samurai flic, and one of the best!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 February 2024
    Verified Purchase
    In this Japanese film classic the great Mifune portrays a down and out samurai who by chance wanders into a village badly divided into two opposing families. As they compete to enlist his services as a bodyguard who can tip the balance of power, he in turn plays hard to get, plying as much food and sake out of them as he can while weighing where to place his loyalty. The film is full of humor and surprising twists of the plot. Some scenes may strike viewers as overly long. Others may hope for more swordplay but Mifune's blade flashes often enough to satisfy most of us. Brilliant.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Duas obras-primas de Kurosawa
    Reviewed in Brazil on 31 January 2021
    Verified Purchase
    Todos que gostam de cinema sabem que Yojimbo [1961] é um filme de Kurosawa que Sérgio Leone refilmou como "Por um Punhado de Dólares" [1964], como uma versão mais moderna de Bruce Willis, O último matador [1996]. Mas frequentemente acabam vendo apenas as últimas versões e não a original. Era o meu caso, mas me redimi ao assisti-lo nesta edição excelente (como sempre) da Versátil, com uma qualidade de imagem impecável e, principalmente, com extras que mostram detalhes de câmeras, produção e do modo de trabalhar de Kurosawa.

    Apenas os extras desta edição valem o preço desse DVD e acaba sendo um dos maiores motivos para se adquirir uma mídia física neste tempo de 'netflix'. Mesmo que se consiga achar um filme antigo como este, não se teria acesso aos extras e sua compreensão da obra ficaria mais limitado. Para filmes como estes certamente um making-off e entrevistas enriquecem muitíssimo a experiência de se ver e entender um filme.

    De 'bônus' acabei vendo o excepcional filme 'Sanjuro', sobre o qual nunca havia ouvido falar, mas que chega a ser até tendo uma história mais bem acabada que a de seu irmão mais famoso. No final das contas, acabei gostando tanto de 'Sanjuro' quanto de 'Yojimbo', mais pessoas deveriam descobri-lo também!

    Em resumo, esse box é obrigatório para os fãs de cinema de ação em geral que não tem preconceito contra filmes em preto e branco. Há um tesouro de filmes 'antigos' não disponíveis em plataformas de streaming que estão sendo perdidos por gerações que só conhecerão blockbusters (gosto de muitos deles, mas assistir apenas a eles é que é o problema). Mais Yojimbo e Sanjuro para o mundo!
