Yojimbo + Sanjuro

We’re kicking off February with a Samurai double feature of Akira Kurosawa’s Yojimbo and Sanjuro, both screening with brand new 4K restorations courtesy of the incredible talents at Janus Films!

Yojimbo: A nameless ronin, or samurai with no master, enters a small village in feudal Japan where two rival businessmen are struggling for control of the local gambling trade. Taking the name Sanjuro Kuwabatake, the ronin convinces both silk merchant Tazaemon and sake merchant Tokuemon to hire him as a personal bodyguard, then artfully sets in motion a full-scale gang war between the two ambitious and unscrupulous men.

Sanjuro: Jaded samurai Sanjuro helps an idealistic group of young warriors weed out their clan’s evil influences, and in the process turns their image of a “proper” samurai on its ear. Less brazen in tone than its predecessor but equally entertaining, this classic character’s return is a masterpiece in its own right.

A Few Good Men

The final film in our tribute to the late, great Rob Reiner is the star-powered and endlessly quotable courtroom thriller A Few Good Men.

When two Marines are accused of murdering a fellow soldier at Guantánamo Bay, young Navy lawyer Lt. Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise) is assigned to their defense. What begins as a routine plea deal spirals into a collision course with the chain of command, culminating in a courtroom showdown with the fearsome Col. Nathan Jessup (Jack Nicholson in one of the most iconic performances in film history).

Few filmmakers moved so effortlessly between genres as Rob Reiner. From coming-of-age classics to sharp-edged comedy to pulse-pounding thrillers, his filmography is a tour of American movie magic. Tickets to the Remembering Ron Reiner are all discounted to $9.
