Samurai I: Musashi Miyamoto

Japanese superstar ToshirĂ´ 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".
