Reviews
The glorious vigour and strength of this film is presented with such theatrical relish and flair: its energy flashes out of the screen like a sword.Peter Bradshaw, Guardian
There are many excellencies in [Seven Samurai]. The acting of the men who are unknown to American audiences but whose talents are obvious; the careful building of suspense; the realism of the battle scenes... [and] the beauties of the countryside.Marjory Adams, Boston Globe
