Yojimbo: Remastered Edition (The Criterion Collection) Summary The Incomparable Toshiro Mifune Stars In Akira Kurosawa’s Visually Stunning And Darkly Comic Yojimbo. To Rid A Terror-stricken Village Of Corruption, Wily Masterless Samurai Sanjuro Turns A Range War Between Two Evil Clans To His Own Advantage. Remade Twice, By Sergio Leone (a Fistful Of Dollars) And Walter Hill (last Man Standing), This Exhilarating Genre-twister Remains One Of The Most Influential And Entertaining Films Ever Produced. Criterion Is Proud To Present This Kurosawa Favorite In A New, High-definition Digital Transfer.

This semi-comic 1961 film by legendary director Akira Kurosawa (Rashomon, Ran) was inspired by the American Western genre. Kurosawa mainstay Toshirô Mifune (The Seven Samurai) plays a drifting samurai for hire who plays both ends against the middle with two warring factions, surviving on his wits and his ability to outrun his own bad luck. Eventually the samurai seeks to eliminate both sides for his own gain and to define his own sense of honor. Yojimbo is striking for its unorthodox treatment of violence and morality, reserving judgment on the actions of its main character and instead presenting an entertaining tale with humor and much visual excitement. One of the inspirations for the "spaghetti Westerns" of director Sergio Leone and later surfacing as a remake as Last Man Standing with Bruce Willis, this film offers insight into a director who influenced American films even as he was influenced by them. --Robert Lane
