For the first time in its full-length version...
In his late color masterpiece Kagemusha (The Shadow Warrior) director Akira Kurosawa returned to the samurai film and to a primary theme of his celebrated career-the play between illusion and reality. Sumptuously reconstructing the splendor of feudal Japan and pageantry of war, Kurosawa creates a soaring historical epic that is also a somber meditation on the nature of power. The Criterion Collection is proud to present Kagemusha for the first time in its full-lenghth version. | Daisuke Ryu ; Hideji Otaki ; Jinpachi Nezu ; Kenichi Hagiwara ; Tatsuya Nakadai ; Tsutomu Yamazaki ; Masayuki Yui. | | Akira Kurosawa | | Not Rated | | 1980 | | Widescreen 1.85:1 Anamorphic | | Japanese - Dolby (2.0) Stereo | | English | | 180 minutes (approx) |
