Best of the Year: Timeless Legends & Epic Classics

Seven Samurai

Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai is a monumental achievement in cinema, and its debut in 4K for the first time ever, courtesy of the BFI, is truly exciting. One of the greatest films of all time, it has profoundly influenced directors from George Lucas to Steven Spielberg and inspired remakes like John Sturges’ The Magnificent Seven. The film follows 16th-century farmers who, facing repeated attacks by bandits, enlist the help of an elderly, masterless samurai (Takashi Shimura). He assembles a band of warriors to defend and train them. Featuring standout performances by Shimura and Toshiro Mifune, superb camerawork, and expertly crafted battle scenes, this action masterpiece is now presented in a stunning 4K restoration. The BFI’s limited edition 2-disc set includes a book, postcards, and a poster, making this release a must-have for cinephiles.
