I wish I could say I’ve seen more Kurosawa films. I’ve probably seen about 10 of these, and those are mostly his collabs with Toshiro Mifune. Love the packaging and everything as usual, but the majority of these films can be checked out at the public library or on netflix so I’ll save myself the $300 and do just that. Epic collection, nonetheless.
