The Films of Akira Kurosawa

Akira Kurosawa has been the most celebrated Japanese filmmaker in history. His films such as Rashomon, Ikiru, Seven Samurai, and Ran, among others, have won many international awards and have also introduced much of the Western world to Japanese cinema. This new edition of Donald Richie's study, last updated in 1984, contains new information in the introduction and filmography, and Richie has added chapters on Ran, Dreams, Rhapsody in August, and Madadayo.
