Inspired by Kurosawa 0: Intro to Kurosawa (with Peter Tasker)

For our next film season topic, we're going to watch an influential Akira Kurosawa film, and then the films inspired by that film to see how they compare.

To help provide context for this journey, we're joined by Peter Tasker, author of On Kurosawa

for a great conversation about Kurosawa, the Yakuza, the Samurai and how Kurosawa created the modern concept of Samurai, whether the director is still relevant in the West, and more!
