Samurai I: Musashi Miyamoto

Japanese superstar Toshirô Mifune stars in this epic tale that's considered the "Gone With The Wind" of Japan. In the first part of the three films, Takezo (Mifune) through a series of adventures grows from a wild orphan to a responsible adult who finds love and his path to become a Samurai. This film is a must for all who love epic film making with a larger than life story in the exotic Japan of the 16Th century. The young and dashing Mifune proves he's worthy of all the acclaim that the legendary actor achieved in a glorious career. The film won the second Oscar for Japan after "Rashomon".
