- Program Abstract: In his late, color masterpiece Kagemusha, Akira Kurosawa returned to the samurai film and to a primary theme of his career- the play between illusion and reality. Sumptuously reconstructing the splendor of feudal Japan and the pageantry of war, Kurosawa creates a historical epic that is also a meditation on the nature of power. The Criterion Collection is proud to present Kagemusha for the first time in its full-length version in the United States.
