Sanjuro

This was my first taste of Akira Kurosawa in some of my early Film classes. Kurosawa's sense of framing, and his larger than life, mythic characters instantly made an impression. I had been watching countless movies and shows that had his work deeply embedded in their DNA, and this still felt shockingly relevant and modern.
It's a classic. It's still a blast to watch. Totally hard to beat.
