You know, for being a self described movie guy, Kurosawa is a blind spot for me. Probably because 7 Samurai is so much to take in. Maybe I’ll give yojimbo a try and see what I prefer
Yojimbo is probably his most accessible to modern audiences. It’s under 2 hours and it goes at a breakneck pace most of the time with pretty much every conversation being interrupted for some action. Mifune also might be at his coolest here.
