Awesome, awesome, awesome. Stray Dog is really underrated in my book.
Love the natural-looking color poster. Mifune looks like he’s wearing one of those biker gang wigs from MechaIke.
Great find! I knew paying attention to this blog would pay off at some point! Still waiting on that winning lottery ticket though…
These films really deserve to be seen on a big screen, with a good 35mm print. There is incredible lushness in these B&W Kurosawa films that will never be visible in a compressed online video, or even a DVD. You deserve to see these great films at their best.
