Akira Kurosawa

So, any thoughts about the brilliant, innovative Japanese director, the creator of Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, Ikiru, Stray Dog(which I haven't seen yet), and still others?

Any fans? Anyone?

(If there's already a Kurosawa thread, feel free to delete this.)

Kurosawa Akira

According to Wikipedia "In Japan, both critics and other filmmakers, conscious of Kurosawa's samurai background, have sometimes accused his work of elitism, because of his focus on exceptional, heroic individuals and groups of men."
