One of the greatest films ever made, Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai (black and white 1954), has influenced the work of many film director's. Recreated by Hollywood as The Magnificent Seven (colour 1960), this Japanese original still stands head and shoulders above any other film remake or interpretation.

Following on from Seven Samurai (black and white 1954), this film Rashomon (black and white 1950), is another fine example of rich Japanese cinema at its very best.
