Samurai I: Musashi Miyamoto makes use of hanging colour cinematography.
The primary installment in Hiroshi Inagaki’s epic and magisterial Samurai Trilogy, Samurai I: Musashi Miyamoto, which will likely be screened this Sunday on the McNay Artwork Museum, follows a younger bandit and his religious evolution right into a sort of enlightened samurai.
Launched the identical 12 months as Kurosawa’s basic Seven Samurai (1954), Samurai I is much less visceral and gripping, however extra impressionistic. Its attractive colour cinematography creates a shifting woodblock print of a floating world.
Toshiro Mifune (who, in fact, is in Seven Samurai as properly) delivers maybe the best efficiency in his storied profession, crafting a portrait that’s each mythic and deeply felt. The McNay’s inaugural Summer time Movie Sequence celebrates the museum’s seventieth anniversary by showcasing movies launched in 1954.
Free for members and $10 for nonmembers, 3-5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 4, McNay Artwork Museum, 6000 N. New Braunfels Ave., (210) 824-5368, [email protected], mcnayart.org/mcnay70.Subscribe to SA Present newsletters.
