Seven Samurai & Other Screenplays
Kurosawa

Presents three early works from the Japanese film maker Akira Kurosawa. In 'The Seven Samurai' (1954) the inhabitants of a small Japanese village employ a band of roaming Samurai to defend them. This film was eventually used as a model for 'The Magnificent Seven'. The other screenplays featured include 'Ikiru' (1952) which tells the painful and intimate story of a Japanese civil servant's coming to terms with old age and death. 'Throne of Blood' (1957), based on Shakespeare's 'Macbeth', tells of a Samurai who is encouraged to kill his lord. The texts featured are based on the author's own shooting scripts and this book includes a critical introduction to each script.
