YesAsia Editorial Description

Kurosawa Akira's films have been remade many times before, but never quite like this. Producer Kadokawa Haruki and director Morita Yoshimitsu (Lost Paradise) revisit the 1962 samurai classic Sanjuro, working with the exact same script that Kikushima Ryuzo, Oguni Hideo, and Kurosawa wrote for the original. Though the dialogue and storyline are the same, the 2007 incarnation of Sanjuro is as revisionary as it is purist, none the least with the casting of affable Bayside Shakedown hero Oda Yuji as the title ronin. Oda is no Mifune Toshiro, and the film works largely because of that, updating the original for contemporary audiences. With Oda cutting a new kind of wily rogue swordsman, the 2007 Sanjuro brings out more of the flippant humor in the original script, keeping light pace between the sparring swords. The film's supporting cast brings together young stars like Suzuki Anne (Hana and Alice) and Matsuyama Kenichi (L: Change the World) with veterans like Fujita Makoto and Nishioka Tokuma.

One night, nine naive young samurai led by Isaka (Matsuyama Kenichi) gather at a shrine to discuss combating corruption in their clan. Suspecting Chief Retainer Mutsuta (Fujita Makoto) to be the culprit, they have arranged a meeting with Chief Inspector Kikui (Nishioka Tokuma). Out of nowhere, a gruff and unkempt ronin (Oda Yuji) jumps out and tells the indignant youth they not only have their facts reversed, they're now sitting ducks for Kikui's henchmen. Through casual wit and superior swordplay, the ronin, who introduces himself as Tsubaki Sanjuro, saves the young samurai's lives, and even gets himself a job offer from impressed chief henchman Muroto (Toyokawa Etushi). Sanjuro, however, decides to help the young samurai save Mutsuta who is being held captive by Kikui.

Product Information

タイトル:椿三十郎: (2007年度製作版)(通常版)
出演:織田裕二/豊川悦司/松山ケンイチ/鈴木杏/村川絵梨/佐々木蔵之介/風間杜夫/西岡徳馬/小林稔侍/中村玉緒/藤田まこと
監督:森田芳光

森田芳光監督が「椿三十郎」を大胆リメイク。織田裕二が"理想のリーダー"としての三十郎を熱演!

深夜の社殿。井坂伊織をはじめとする9人の侍が集まり、上役の汚職を暴き出すための密談をしていた。意気高揚する若侍たちの前に、やがて社殿の奥から1人の素浪人が現れる。身なりは粗末で口も悪いが、三十郎と名乗るその素浪人の話を聞くうちに、井坂は彼に頭の切れと頼もしさを覚える。やがて井坂は、反対する仲間を抑え、三十郎に同志になって欲しいと頼み込み…。
黒澤明監督の名作を、森田芳光監督が、主演に織田裕二を迎えてリメイク。黒澤版では、三船敏郎が彼ならではの迫力で椿三十郎を好演していたが、本作では織田裕二が人間的な魅力で若侍たちを惹き付ける、"理想のリーダー"としての三十郎を熱演している。また、仲代達矢が演じた室戸半兵衛に扮するのは、実力派の豊川悦司。風間杜夫や小林稔侍、藤田まことなど、共演陣にも豪華な顔ぶれが揃っている。
