Sanjuro

Toshiro Mifune swaggers along with snarls to brilliant comic effect in Kurosawa’s tightly paced, superbly written “Sanjuro.” In this companion piece and sequel to “Yojimbo,” jaded samurai Sanjuro helps an idealistic group of young warriors weed out their clan’s evil influences, and in the method turns their image using some suitable samurai in its ear.
