Yojimbo

4K Restoration

The incomparable Toshiro Mifune stars in Akira Kurosawa’s visually stunning and darkly comic Yojimbo. To rid a terror-stricken village of corruption, wily masterless samurai Sanjuro turns a range war between two evil clans to his own advantage. Remade twice, by Sergio Leone and Walter Hill respectively, this exhilarating genre-twister remains one of the most influential and entertaining films of all time.

"You won't find a more bone-jarring set of fight scenes than the ones on display here, while Mifune's blood-letting drifter offers a masterclass in justice-dispensing cool."
George Wales, Total Film
"With Mifune's tongue-in-cheek performance and the wildly stylized battle scenes featuring mallet and pistol-wielding samurai, Yojimbo may just be the first post-modern samurai film."
Michael Scheinfeld, TV Guide Magazine
