YesAsia Editorial Description
At seventy years of age, with his career on the downswing, legendary director Akira Kurosawa turned to the help of George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola, who served as producers on Kurosawa's epic Kagemusha. At that point in time, Kagemusha was the most expensive film ever to be made in Japan. The film is set in late sixteenth century Japan, where three clans are battling for dominance and control of the land. When Lord Shingen of the Takeda clan is mortally wounded and sure to die, he orders that his death be kept a secret in order to preserve stability, and that his shadow warrior (kagemusha) take his place. Shingen's doppleganger is a low level thief, spared his life because of his uncanny resemblance to Shingen. However, despite the resemblence, fate runs its course, climaxing in a bloody battlefield finale.
In this special series, the films of Akira Kurosawa have been restored and remastered on DVD, offering the highest quality video and audio experience available.. Scene chapters are set according to the scene divisions appearing on Kurosawa's screenplays. The keepcase is housed in a handsome box. This edition also contains a booklet including a poster gallery and other promotional materials for the film. Special features include a making-of documentary and trailer(s).
