“100th Anniversary of Akira Kurosawa's Birth
- Tuesdays in March.
A 26 movie tribute to possibly the most celebrated Japanese filmmaker of all time; highlights include early work such as Sanshiro Sugata (1943) and later masterpieces like Ikiru (1952) and Ran (1985).”

Too bad i don’t have cable television. I’ve seen all of Kurosawa’s samurai films, but I haven’t seen his later dramas. Maybe i should purchase Criterion’s AK100 set?
