Seven Samurai - Criterion Collection Reviews
The Classic
So much has been written about SEVEN SAMURAI, I am reluctant to besmirch the record with any no-doubt redundant observations of my own. But I will point out that the film's subtitles had two of the odder translations I've come across, namely "sheeyit" and "mollycoddle."
While quite long, SEVEN SAMURAI does not test one's patience because of the humor and engaging personalities the film displays. I was surprised that I couldn't watch the film in widescreen, but that is apparently the way it was shot.
No matter. It's still a great movie; anyone who enjoys its realistic, unglamorous portrayal of samurai life is strongly encouraged to watch THE TWILIGHT SAMURAI.
Several Editions - Get the 2006 release
The 2006 release was remastered and the three discs contain much new commentary. More importantly, the video quality is as good as you can get with much cleaning and artifact removal from the remaining prints since the master prints were lost. Much restoration of what you see and what you hear.
The 1998 DVD release is still available so check the release date.
