Synopsis
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.
