Throne of Blood

Join us at the Lincoln Theatre for our August Film Series! In the 1950s and '60s, director Akira Kurosawa and actor Toshirô Mifune were an unstoppable team, creating 16 films together that form the bedrock of modern Japanese cinema. Kurosawa once said, "All the films that I made with Mifune, without him, they would not exist," while Mifune himself claimed, "I have never as an actor done anything that I am proud of other than with him." Come see for yourself what Kurosawa and Mifune were so proud of -- here are four films that rank among the greatest ever made, inspiring countless filmmakers for decades to come.
