Saturday at the Japanese Cinema

MBT Studies in Japanese Culture

Film: Samurai I: Musashi Miyamoto (with English Subtitles)

The first feature in a trilogy based on the epic novel by Eiji Yoshikawa.  Toshiro Mifune plays a brash and ambitious peasant who desires fame and power as a swordsman.  His dreams of glory in war sour when his army is routed and he becomes hunted by the authorities, but the “tough love” attentions of a kindly but severe monk help him develop from a hot-tempered outlaw to a thoughtful swordsman.

Take part in the after film discussion of this film's relevance to Japanese culture.

NO Admission fee. Popcorn and snacks will be served. Please RSVP (312) 943-7801 so we'll know how many chairs to setup.
