COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Incredible submitted by Daniel Saltzman on January 4, 2010, 12:04pm Combining both the incredible expressiveness of silent acting with the emotions of speaking characters, this classic masterpiece explores both the human psyche and Japanese feudal culture while keeping its viewers enraptured with action, comedy, drama, romance, tragedy, and sports-rooting-like joy.

Very Long: Very Worth It submitted by elizabeth mayhew on August 23, 2018, 1:54am Seven Samurai is admittedly very long (Almost 4 hours, in fact) but is worth the time it takes to watch, and is absolutely worth the time to go through and really pay attention.

Best of the Best submitted by amy on August 29, 2019, 7:44pm The best of one of the best directors who has ever lived. This is Essential Viewing: 101. Kurosawa's timeless classic of heroism and sacrifice has rarely been equaled and never surpassed.
