Hi this is Steve. We've done all sorts of films on the Cinephiles, deep serious films with important themes, thrilling adventures and big sprawling epics.

We've done films with brilliant performances, meticulous technique and incredible cinematography.

But there are few films which combine all those elements more beautifully than Akira Cora Sala's Seven Samurai.

Seven Samurai is as entertaining as it is thought-provoking,

as technically brilliant, as it is deeply moving.

It is a film that not only changed our perception of Japanese cinema, but our approach to filmmaking as well.

In fact, coming just nine years after the end of World War II, I believe that Seven Samurai, through its power, vision, and sheer humanity change the way we see the Japanese people.

This is a truly brilliant movie and as Cinephiles you owe it to yourself not just to watch it,

but to really study it.

And there's no better place to do that than on our website xenophiles.net,

where you can buy or stream seven samurai along with every other film we've ever reviewed.

Plus, if you don't support us on Patreon,

now is a good time to start

because we just released a new Cinephile Short

with John and my feelings about the Rise of Skywalker

and the whole Star Wars franchise.

So that's a Rise of Skywalker's short exclusively on Patreon and Seven Samurai Part 1

this Friday on the Cinephiles. The Hello and welcome once again to the cinnophiles where this week we continue the month

of Kurosawa with the Seven Samurai.

My name is Steve Morris.

I'm a filmmaker and directing instructor in Los Angeles, California.

Hello, my name is John Roca.
