Review of Yojimbo (1961) by James Berardinelli for ReelViews — 21 Nov 1973
Yojimbo does not cause viewers to ponder deep issues in the way Rashomon does, nor does it possess the epic grandness of The Seven Samurai, yet it must still be considered in the top tier of Kurosawa's films.
Stylish, compelling, and involving, it became as much a blueprint for future productions as it is an homage to past ones.
