Louvre Museum Akira Kurosawa - Composing Movement Akira Kurosawa – Composing Movement for Film Some of my favorite directors of all time are Stanley Kubrick, Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, and of course Akira Kurosawa. Ever since I watched the Criterion Collection Laserdisc (yes I’m old) of Seven Samurai and Rashomon I was hooked. Even in high school I knew that no one else in the world of cinema could frame a shot like Kurosawa. The emotion, the composition, the framing, and the camera movement was perfection in film after film after film throughout his over 50 years crafting films. Some of his earlier work is still hard to come by unless you live in Japan, his home country. If your a filmmaker you must get your hand on as many Criterion Collection DVD, Blu-rays or digital downloads as possible. The commentaries, behind the scenes and extras are invaluable.
