## Description

One of the most thrilling movie epics of all time, Seven Samurai ( Shichinin no samurai ) tells the story of a sixteenth-century village whose desperate inhabitants hire the eponymous warriors to protect them from invading bandits. This three-hour-plus ride from Akira Kurosawa—featuring legendary actors Toshiro Mifune and Takashi Shimura—seamlessly weaves philosophy and entertainment, delicate human emotions and relentless action, into a rich, evocative, and unforgettable tale of courage and hope. 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES

Review: Masterful in 4k - The Criterion 4K release of Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai isn't just a movie; it's a cinematic pilgrimage, now in glorious, eye-watering detail. If you thought this nearly four-hour masterpiece couldn't get any more epic, prepare to have your socks knocked off by the stunning new 4K restoration. Every grain of rice, every weathered face, and every torrential raindrop in that legendary final battle is rendered with astonishing clarity, making the film feel simultaneously timeless and brand new. Criterion, as always, treats this classic with the reverence it deserves. The transfer is immaculate, showcasing incredible depth and a nuanced grayscale that truly brings out the artistry of the cinematography. And the special features are, as expected, a treasure trove. You'll get multiple commentaries, extensive documentaries delving into the film's origins and influence, and even a two-hour conversation with Kurosawa himself. This isn't just a physical media release; it's a comprehensive masterclass on a film that continues to inspire. Be warned: once you see Seven Samurai in this pristine 4K, all other black-and-white films might just look a little... peasant-like.
Review: About Collector's Box Set - Just as pictured above, the collector's boxset comes in a black box containing 2 items. The first item is a supplemental booklet containing film pictorials and literature about the history of Samurai, Japanese movie making, etc. It's informative and interesting, however, a one-time read. The second item is a foldout case film pictorial with 3 DVDs that resemble umbrellas from top view with their own distinct colors to distinguish their content. Overall design style gives one the mood of the film in mind. The 1st disc contains the first half of the film up to the intermission and the picture quality compared to the 1998 Criterion is undeniably superior. The film itself is in its original 1.33:1 aspect ratio with slight borders around the frame inorder for better viewing with most monitors. This edition contains the original mono sound track as well as a new stereo sound track, however, I prefer the original mono due to being an enthusiast. There are also two commentary selections. One is the original 1988 commentary of Michael Jeck from the 1998 Criterion, which is fantastic! The second commentary is comprised of 5 film scholars, and each are given roughly 40 minutes of commentary spotlight in various parts of the film, which is also fantastic! Listening to both commentaries gives you a greater understanding of this superb film. The first disc also contains some production photos from the film as well as some posters of the film from several countries. The second disc contains the second half of the film right after the intermission with the continuation of the audio tracks. This second disc contains an extra feature called "It Is Wonderful To Create", which is a 55 minute documentary of Akira Kurosawa's films with his collaborators. The third disc contains a two hour interview with Akira Kurosawa as well as origins and influences of how this film came to fruition. I really wanted to see more interviews from the stars themselves, especially the great Toshiro Mifune. The third disc will probably be a one-time view. I believe, Criterion could've contained the film in its entirety on one disc and included all the extra features on the second disc inorder to streamline this otherwise great release. Overall, an extremely satisfying new release of Seven Samurai that should definitely be included in any fans dvd collection. I have watched this film over a dozen times with great joy and satisfaction and now I can enjoy it even more with this wonderful collector's edition!
