Loved this film! From the opening shot in the rain, this film took a hold of my attention and didn't let go.
An interesting look at the selfishness of man and what the 'truth' really is, from start to finish this film is captivating and exciting. Having seen Toshirô Mifune in 'Yojimbo' and loving him I was excited to see his performance here and it certainly didn't disappoint.
The infectiously mad Tajômaru the Bandit was a fantastic character and very interesting to watch. This being my second Akira Kurosawa film (Yojimbo being my first) I was glad to find that I had a great time. As always some beautiful shots and some interesting transitions, too!
Everyone does a fine job but I did find myself disliking the 'wife' quite a bit. Then again, I think that was the point!
I would definitely recommend this film!
