  Seven Samurai 1954

  ★★★★★ Watched 11 Jan 2025

  This was so much more than I anticipated in so many ways. I knew it was a classic and considered an incredible movie but I haven’t been so compelled by a story and by such well developed characters in a long time. It felt so genuine— like down to the way characters would slip while running in a way that felt unscripted. Can’t wait to watch more Kurosawa movies. Also rip my man Kyûzô he was the coolest.

  Ran 1985

  ★★★★★ Watched 09 Jan 2025

  I feel like this was an odd choice for my first Kurosawa movie but holy fuck I loved it. I’ve never been so stunned by a movie’s use of color. Such an interesting and unique retelling of King Lear and I can’t wait to watch more.

  ★★★ Watched 02 Jan 2025

  This was silly but I liked Denzel Washington in it. Also Paul Mescal can’t help but gaze lovingly into the eyes of his men costars while talking inches away. Like just kissss
