Cinema du Parc will be showing classic Samurai films from Japan as well as some of the latest features from China! I’ve seen two of these films at Fantasia already (Reign of Assassins and Love in the Buff, both of which I gave positive reviews for on this website). Judging from reviews, the rest of the features are also impressive.
Mushashi Miyamoto’s Samurai trilogy – August 10-16
The Human Condition (in 3 parts) by Masaki Kobayashi – August 10-16
Akira Kurosawa, A Portrait in 4 Films – August 17-19
