"One of the world's great filmmakers, and perhaps the greatest Japanese director who ever lived, Akira Kurosawa crafted a stunning body of work in his 50 years in the movie industry, creating such landmark films as Rashomon, The Seven Samurai, The Hidden Fortress, Ran, The Bad Sleep Well, Kagemusha, and Yojimbo. Kurosawa was the first Japanese filmmaker to achieve international recognition, and his early films were instrumental in establishing his nation's film industry as a potent creative force. This documentary, produced for the Independent Film Channel cable network, takes a detailed look at his life and career and features interviews with some of his better-known admirers, including directors Francis Ford Coppola, Bernardo Bertolucci, and John Woo and Japanese film historian Donald Richie."
