Join us for a seven-film series showcasing many of Japanese master Akira Kurosawa’s greatest films in breathtaking new 4K restorations! https://hipointetheatre.org/film-series/kurosawa-in-focus/Akira Kurosawa, 1963
Toshiro Mifune is unforgettable as Kingo Gondo, a wealthy industrialist whose family becomes the target of a cold-blooded kidnapper in High and Low (Tengoku to jigoku), the highly influential domestic drama and police procedural from director Akira Kurosawa. Adapting Ed McBain’s detective novel King’s Ransom, Kurosawa moves effortlessly from compelling race-against-time thriller to exacting social commentary, creating a diabolical treatise on contemporary Japanese society.
“One of the best detective thrillers ever filmed.” – Edward Thompson, The New York Times
“Kurosawa executes an astonishingly bold dramatic turn.” – A.O. Scott
