Kurosawa films on TCM on 4/1

TCM is running a series of films directed by Akira Kurosawa tomorrow starting with Drunken Angel. The star, Toshiro Mifune, would have been 100 years old this year. I recommend all of them but my favorites are:

Yojimbo and its sequel Sanjuro

High and Low

Today is Toshiro Mifune’s 100th birthday and @tcm is celebrating by programming 24 hours of his films. You may know the samurai movies but my fave is “High and Low” where he plays a shoe salesman caught up in a kidnapping gone wrong pic.twitter.com/Gyvg6D2eZ6

Special love for “The Lower Depths,” which Donald Richie called his greatest performance. #Mifune100 pic.twitter.com/nPGafoecBb
