(TSUBAKI SANJÛRÔ, Akira Kurosawa, Japan 1962, 96 min., Japanese/subtitles

Don’t judge a book by its cover or a ronin by his rags. Towering Toshiro Mifune wanders into town in this sequel to Yojimbo, showing us once again the meaning of bushido—the way of the samurai warrior. Among all the balletic bloodletting, there’s a little modern-day existentialism in there, too. Wonderfully wide in Tohoscope.
