Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesMutsuta's wife (portrayed by Takako Iris) is shown to have blackened teeth. This was a customary Japanese way of signifying that a woman was married, especially fashionable with courtiers in the Imperial Court. This practice is known as ohaguro.
- PatzerThe three enemies who surrender are kept in a room with chicken wire / poultry mesh stretched across the door. This was invented in England in 1844 and did not exist in the era or place depicted in the film.
- Zitate
Mutsuta's wife: You glisten too brightly.
Sanjûrô Tsubaki: Glisten?
Mutsuta's wife: Yes. Like a drawn sword.
Sanjûrô Tsubaki: A drawn sword?
Mutsuta's wife: You're like a sword without a sheath. You cut well, but the best sword is kept in its sheath.
Sanjuro is a loose sequel to the classic Yojimbo. The character is back, as is, confusingly, Tatsuya Nakadai as a completely different character. The landscape and tone are entirely new, lighter, jollier. It is almost a spoof of its predecessor,as Mifune's nonchalant and perpetually unwashed antihero helps a group of goody- two-shoes samurai save their framed master. This is also the first on-screen collaboration between Toshiro Mifune and the young Yuzo Kayama, before they costared to such memorable effect on Redbeard.
Nobody spoofs Kurosawa better than the man himself: this is without a doubt his funniest film, yet he never treats it as a second-class product. No slouch, the director peppers this light romp with unforgettable visual flourishes, enraptured homages to the American Westerns that so inspired him, and an end-note of surprising violence, the likes of which Tarantino could only dream of.
At a fast-paced 96 minutes, this is probably a great entry point into the cinema of Akira Kurosawa, and a film that would be much more highly regarded had it not come from such an established filmmaker.
