Japanese Cinema
I had the great experience of seeing the film "Mifune: The Last Samurai (2015)." It was a history of Japanese film since it was introduced in Japan by the Lumiere brothers. The film covered the golden era of film at Toho Co., Ltd in Tokyo in the 1950's and 1960's. During this time they created the best samurai and Godzilla films. It was also the time of the legendary 16 relationship of Akira Kurasawa and Toshiro Mifune. One interview included an actor who was both a Kurasawa samurai and the Godzilla actor. Other interviews included Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg. It was entertaining and informative. Very well edited and great selection of actors who worked with the Kurasawa/Mifune team.
