New Restorations: Seven Samurai

“Rich in detail, vivid in characterization, leisurely in exposition, this 207-minute epic is bravura filmmaking.”
— J. Hoberman, Village Voice

KPAC presents SEVEN SAMURAI as part of our New Restorations series featuring recently restored classics. One of the most thrilling movie epics of all time, Seven 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 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. Japanese with English subtitles. Film presented with intermission.

Matinee on Friday, August 9 presented by the Cinema Classics Committee at a discounted price of $6.

Rated: Not Rated | 3 hr 30 min | Tickets: $6 Matinee / $8 Adult / Film Pass
