Beautiful imagery, definitely worth watching this on blu-ray. A classic story that doesn't disappoint.

Very long movie [nearly 3 hours). Another morality tale/warning from Kurosawa. Could be described as "psychopaths as leaders", how destructive they can be... not much has changed in the world, they ruled then and they often are at the top now...
