Seven Samurai (1982R)

This is a 1982 re-release for Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai, issued at a time when the film’s reputation had fully solidified as one of the most important works in world cinema. By the early 1980s, Seven Samurai was widely acknowledged not only as a landmark of Japanese film, but as a foundational influence on global storytelling, reshaping the action epic, defining the ensemble cast structure, and inspiring countless remakes, homages, and genre reinterpretations, most famously The Magnificent Seven.

The poster reflects this elevated canonical status, prominently billing “Akira Kurosawa’s Masterpiece” and emphasising Toshiro Mifune’s ferocious, iconic performance. Produced during an era when repertory theaters and art-house reissues were introducing classic films to new generations.
