Why You Should See This Film
Famous in the west for being the chief influence on Star Wars, The Hidden Fortress was Kurowasa’s most successful film up to that point as well as the first time he shot in Tohoscope. A pulp adventure of extraordinary landscapes, thrilling combat and swashbuckling hijinks, it’s easily the most fun you can have with a Kurosawa picture.
