The Latin American Art Museum of Buenos Aires (MALBA, by its Spanish acronym) is offering a unique program of eight films by Japanese master filmmaker Akira Kurosawa. The films, all in 35mm prints, will be playing every Thursday of January at the Museum’s film theater, programmed by Fernando Martín Peña. The series continues on Thursday 11 with Seven Samurai (1954), a medieval tale of a helpless town that hires a group of samurais to defend them from pillagers. With such a life, how can I abandon it?” said Kurosawa in an interview published by film critic Andrew Sarris. Yojimbo is a bit of a portrait of this situation,” said Kurosawa in an interview with Gian Luigi Rondi.
