KAGEMUSHA 影武者
Directed by Akira Kurosawa (179 min.) 1980 14A
When a warlord dies, a peasant thief is called upon to impersonate him, and then finds himself haunted by the warlord’s spirit as well as his own ambitions. In his late color masterpiece, Akira Kurosawa returns to the samurai film and to a primary theme of his career-the play between illusion and reality. Winner of the 1980 Palme D’Or.
