Real quick: an awesome still from Akira Kurosawa's
Throne of Blood, in honor of the 100th birthday of the
greatest filmmaker whoever lived.
Think you're a fan? You're not a real diehard devotee until you've got
this set.
The Criterion Collection is
giving away the 25-film set today to one persuasive cinephile: In one sentence, convince a friend who is unfamiliar with Kurosawa to watch one of his films. Good luck!
