Product Description

A free-lance samurai works both sides of the street in a village split by warring merchants. Directed by Akira Kurosawa.

Additional Features

The Criterion Collection's 2007 disc is a must-have for any serious cinephile. The film is presented with an all-new, fully restored high-definition digital transfer, representing (as in the case of Seven Samurai) a significant improvement over Criterion's previous DVD release. It features a full-length commentary by Kurosawa scholar Stephen Prince (with eloquent emphasis on camera movement and composition) in addition to a retrospective documentary culled from the priceless Japanese Toho Masterworks series Akira Kurosawa: It Is Wonderful to Create, featuring illuminating interviews with many of Kurosawa's closest collaborators. A theatrical trailer and behind-the-scenes photo gallery are also included, along with new-and-improved subtitles, insightful booklet essays, and rarely seen production notes by Kurosawa and members of his cast and crew. With this reissue, Criterion's previous release of Yojimbo should now be considered officially obsolete. --Jeff Shannon

An Adventure to Watch this Film

June 19, 2017

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

First time I've seen this film and I loved it. It is quite dark about human nature, unlike The Seven Samurai, Rashomon, and The Hidden Fortress. It is more graphically violent than these previous film, but not intolerably so. It is a story of how a samurai successfully pits two groups of gangsters in a small town who have been quarreling against each other already. The samurai, who resembles a drifter in an American western (e.g., Shane or The Searchers), once arrives to the town concocts his plan to destroy these rivaling gangs to give the town a new beginning. It is a film that has influences from American films and has also influenced other American films, particularly Sergio Leone's Man with no Name saga.

Good but hard to follow

Jumped right into Yojimbo after watching seven samurai. While Yojimbo is and enjoyable film, I found it lacking when compared to seven samurai. I know I shouldnt compare the two but having seen samurai so recently I cant help it. The story is great, and Mifune is awesome but I found the story difficult to follow and the minor characters uninteresting. And the way the bad guy wields his gun from the front of his robe made me chuckle more than once. The ending is great which saved the film for me.

Great cinematography.

There were many, many beautifully filmed scenes, and unforgettable characters. I can only imagine the fun they had figuring out who would wear what costume, how many times Mifune would scratch himself and who would wear what grimace on his face. So well done!

and the music is quirky and fun, and Mifune Toshiro is brilliant

As you watch this you will think, "I've seen this movie before..." This is because the plot of Yojimbo and many of its plot elements have been stolen by filmmakers the world over, including Sergio Leone for "A Fistful of Dollars" with Clint Eastwood and Walter Hill for "Last Man Standing" with Bruce Willis. Director Kurosawa Akira uses a wry style here, and the music is quirky and fun, and Mifune Toshiro is brilliant, as always.

Great black n white in blue ray

Just watched Leone's Man with no Name and it reminded me of Yojimbo!! Saw this movie years ago and this Criterion version did not disappoint. Actually not comparable in cast of characters, cinematography, etc. Definitely a must watch!! I have the DVD version of 7 Samurai and bought the blue ray version for better quality.

FOR A FISTFUL OF RYOS

April 19, 2000

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

Akira Kurosawa's YOJIMBO is a samurai movie set in Japan in 1860. That period was characterized by political turmoils and deep social changes. Samurais found no masters anymore and had to survive by selling their wit and their arms if they didn't want to turn into ronins, into mad warriors. In the far country, they could appear as substitutes of the law officers who didn't dare to show up.
Toshiro Mifune stars as the no-name samurai who will benefit from the war going on between two gangs in one of these out-of-the-law towns. At this point, if you're an average movie lover, you will have recognized in YOJIMBO several themes used two or three years later by numerous italo-american filmmakers responsible for the revival of the western genre between 1962 and 1970.
In fact, while I was admiring the skill of Toshiro Mifune, I couldn't refrain myself from counting the numerous situations borrowed by Sergio Leone in his Eastwood trilogy. Close-ups of the ugly faces of the outlaws, use of the widescreen format in order to film in the best possible way the streets duels, a musical score which haunts your mind and is part of the action, bloody details (the hand in the dog's mouth...) and a great sense of humor.
I love Sergio Leone's movies but I think that it's of the utmost importance or simply by politeness to remember that YOJIMBO is the first Spaghetti western and that Akira Kurosawa has practically invented the myth of the no-name stranger.
A scene access, colour bars and a trailer as bonus features. Great sound for a great musical score but, unfortunately, a master copy with such defaults as lines or white and black spots.
A pre-Clint DVD.

The original is still the best!

September 15, 2018

Format: Prime VideoVerified Purchase

I love this story. I loved Yojimbo, A Fist Full of Dollars, and The Last Man Standing. This is still the best. Obviously, a Kirasawa movie with Mifune as the lead is always a great bet. The story itself also make a little more sense when the character is a Samurai instead of a wild west gunman. The reason he decides to do the right thing to help the woman and her family comes off more as part of that Samurai code(even if he was a ronin) and seems less like some weird unrequited crush as with F.F.D. and L.M.S. Great flick!

Great Introspective Film!

March 26, 2002

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

I recently ordered this film on DVD,though I have seen it more than once on IFC (Independent Film Channel) and I have always found Kirosawa's films to be reflective of real life situations. People are basically a cross between good and evil, with some variations of extremes between the two. The ronin in this film is like a robinhood type slash heroic type knight who certainly takes advantage of the stupid feud between two dominant houses but also he helps a young couple escape certain doom, however his plans backfire and...well I am not going to tell the whole movie. I think Akira Kirosawa was the best filmmaker that has ever lived, next to Kubrick and I dare say Lynch. If you have never seen this film before you should see it without a doubt, some of the best films are in monochrone black and white so don't let that bother you. This is a humorous and insightful film, dealing with human nature and how ridiculous people look when they go to extremes. It pays to just sit back and be a clearful observer, taking advantage from people guided solely by emotion.
