The Kurosawa Collection

The Kurosawa Collection

SEASON EXTENDED! Concludes Tuesday, December 17

They say the best sword is kept in its sheath, but that doesn’t apply to the iconic films of the legendary Akira Kurosawa! 

In honour of the release of the 4K Restoration of Seven Samurai, Dendy Cinemas is hosting an exclusive series of retrospective screenings, bringing Kurosawa's most acclaimed films back to the big screen, many of them lovingly restored for the first time!

The most celebrated Japanese filmmaker of all time with a towering cinematic legacy, Akira Kurosawa had a career that spanned from the Second World War to the early nineties. From his Shakespeare adaptations to his contemporary thrillers, Kurosawa’s iconic visuals and powerful storytelling earned the adulation of audiences and the admiration of filmmakers. On top of a fascinating exploration of Japanese culture past and present, Kurosawa’s work brims with poetry, both in his visual style and the depth of his characters.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to witness these cinematic masterpieces in their full glory and immerse yourself in the visionary world of Kurosawa, where every frame is a work of art.
