Top stuff - By: The eighth samurai, 20 Jan 2003
If you thought that Kurosawa & Mifune just made samurai flicks then read this book. Chronicallling every single film made by both director & actor individuallly & together, this book contains so much information your brain will bleed. The stories of the studios, actors & directors are fascinating & the inept reviews by American journalists of the age are, on reflection, hilarious. However, be warned that after reading this book you may want to see every Kurosawa film ever made but you don't stand a chance - many have not & will not ever be released in this country.

A must-read book for alll fans of japanese cinema.
