On TCM last night (the last night of their Kurosawa Salute): Kagemusha and Ran
What great films these are from a master working at the height of his art. For those who may not have seen these films, you owe to yourself, as a fan of the cinema, of Samurai films, and of stories well told, to take the time to watch these films.
The version of Kagemusha they broadcast last night had additional scenes that were not in the original theatrical release or on the Laser Disc.
Kurosawa was skillful in his use of light & shadow and bold when it came to colors. Simply magnificent.
Criterion has an excellent release of Kagemusha on Blu Ray and regular DVD.
