15 Masterpieces of Akira Kurosawa Every Movie Fan Should See

When one thinks of the masters of cinema, Kurowsawa would be towards the top of that tree. Ground breaking and innovative in not only the technical arena of the field, the way in which he used narrative has been a major influence on several subsequent generations of directors and one can still see his influence in modern cinema. A hands on director that was incredibly passionate about every facet of the films he made, Kurosawa was also one of the first filmmakers that taught the world a narrative doesn’t have to follow a linear A-B-C path, as had been the standard way of telling a story in cinema across the world. Many consider “Seven Samurai” to be his masterpiece. However, there are many other incredibly interesting works in his canon, so here 15 films from Kurosawa’s back catalogue that are very much worth your time (Dersu Uzala, Rashohmon) http://www.tasteofcinema.com/2014/15-masterpieces-of-akira-kurosawa-every-movie-fan-should-see/
