Official Trailer for Film Forum's 'Kurosawa in 4K' Retrospective Series

"We only realize how beautiful life is... when we face death." One of the finest filmmakers of all-time. Film Forum in NYC is hosting a magnificent retrospective screening series this summer titled Kurosawa in 4K, co-hosted by Janus Films. Janus is the US distributor on many of Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa's classic films throughout his career. Most of his films have since been fully restored and remastered in 4K - and they'll be showing back on the big screen. Starting in NYC, of course, but hopefully more of them will tour around the country (Seven Samurai already played in many art house theaters last year). All the latest 4K restorations were completed by Toho Co., Ltd in Japan, with many being shown in the US for the very first time, including Throne Of Blood, Stray Dog, High And Low, The Hidden Fortress, Ikiru, Yojimbo, and Sanjuro. The screening series begins on July 18th, 2025 and continues until July 31st - a riveting summer escape if you need one. Film Forum is also showing Kurosawa's Rashomon, along with the other eight films aforementioned. They've debuted this new trailer and poster to promote this 2025 retrospective. And it's my duty as a cinephile to share them with you and also encourage any/everyone to go watch any of these films. // Continue Reading ›
