New trailer for Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai - back in cinemas 29 October 2021 | BFI

The new trailer for Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai - one of the greatest films of all time - back in cinemas UK-wide from 29 October 2021 #BFIJapan Subscribe: When 16th-century farmers whose village is repeatedly attacked by merciless bandits ask an elderly, masterless samurai (Takashi Shimura) for help, offering nothing but food in return, he hesitantly agrees and assembles a band of warriors to defend and train the villagers. Boasting terrific performances (with Shimura and Toshiro Mifune – as a peasant masquerading as a samurai – particularly memorable), superb camerawork, and expertly mounted battle sequences, Seven Samurai is undoubtedly one of the greatest action movies ever made.
