Sanjuro [PG]

Director: Akira Kurosawa

Starring: Toshiro Mifune, Takashi Shimura

Mifune reappears as Sanjuro in this overwhelmingly-entertaining sequel to Yojimbo. With his shoulder twitch still intact, the self-confident, lone swordsman agrees to help a hapless young samurai clan overcome corruption in their small town. There is plenty to enjoy in this beautifully-crafted widescreen action-comedy masterpiece from the great Kurosawa. Japanese dialogue with English subtitles. (SH)
