Definition(s)

  • Japanese film director Akira Kurosawa is credited with single-handedly bringing Japanese film to the notice of the world at large through such films as Rashomon (1950) and Seven Samurai (1954). Kurosawa's leadership in the field of filmmaking has made his work the benchmark against which all subsequent Japanese directors have been measured and a major source of inspiration for a generation of American filmmakers.
