    The Best Book for the Best Samurai Films
  

*by S***O on Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2007*

Well-known and respected film critic Alain Silver has written what should be the definitive work on the (true) samurai film.  These are movies made in Japan, and the best ones, the ones that are more than just action films, have something to say.  These great directors like Akira Kurosawa, Hideo Gosha, Masaki Kobayashi, and Kihachi Okamoto were seeking to find answers to today's problems in the historical past.This book is excellent if you want to learn about these men, their movies, and Japanese history/culture.  The updated edition even covers new stuff, like later samurai movies that are not as good (the genre really lost something when this first generation of directors left and samurai films began to get made for their own sake).  And it mentions American cinema, from The Last Samurai to Kill Bill, movies that were inspired by these great old films of the 50's and 60's and which pale in comparison.Yes, Silver is extrmely analytical, so you have to actually want to understand cinema to make it through this.  He discusses technique, especially the visual style of the director (lighting, camera movement, compostion, type of lens, etc.) and you Tarantino or Cruise fans aren't going to be able to stomach all that.

    Still A Top Title for its Subject
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2014*

Just a spectacular overview of the samurai film, well enough illustrated with stills, and perfect text on the subject. It's now getting to be quite an elderly classic for the subject, but fact is, it covers the entirety of a golden age, and that is lastingly just right.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars

*by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2016*

Good book, but it really only focused on the more popular samurai films.  I was really hoping to find out about some movies that I hadn't seen.
