Viewing Notes
Akira Kurosawa’s masterpiece, Seven Samurai, got a Criterion Blu Ray release this year. I snatched it up the day it came out and don’t regret it one bit.
When I was younger, I refused to watch Seven Samurai, because back then, I didn’t think that older movies were worth checking out. Finally, in college, I gave it a shot and it’s now one of my all time favorites. Seven Samurai is as compelling today as it was over 50 years ago. Also, the Criterion release is immaculate. If you don’t own it, you should.
