Additional InformationThis collection features six early films from master Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa; the 1943 SANSHIRO SUGATA, Kurosawa's debut film, follows a judo student's difficult but compelling spiritual journey. Its sequel, SANSHIRO SUGATA: PART TWO (1945), continues the tale of Sanshiro and his quest to become a martial arts master. 1944's ICHIBAN UTSUKUSHIKU (THE MOST BEAUTIFUL) is a propagandistic wartime drama about female volunteers employed at an optics factory. 1945's TORA NO O WO FUMU OTOKOTACHI (THEY WHO STEP ON THE TIGER'S TAIL) is a kabuki-inspired tale about a lord who disguises himself as a monk to get past a seemingly impenetrable roadblock. 1946's WAGA SEISHUN NI KUINASHI (NO REGRETS FOR OUR YOUTH) is a touching tale about a young girl from a privileged background who is exposed to Japan's peasant farmers. And finally, 1947's SUBARASHIKI NICHIYOBI (ONE WONDERFUL SUNDAY) follows the activities of a couple who are struggling with the poor postwar economic climate of the country.
