Kagemusha (1980)

By Akira Kurosawa (1910-1998). This fresco, awarded the Golden Palm at Cannes in 1980, immerses the viewer in medieval Japan with flamboyant aesthetics and memorable fight scenes with the supreme ambiguity of a lord and his double who is a bandit. A masterpiece from the master of the 7th Art.
