To celebrate the 100 years since Akira Kurosawa’s birth and 50 years career he spent in film, the Criterion Collection will release a comprehensive box set of Akira Kurosawa’s films with AK 100 : 25 Films by Akira Kurosawa. From Rashomon to Seven Samurai to Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams, one of history’s greatest directors has been given the full Criterion treatment across 25 of his films, including 4 which have never been featured on DVD. There has never before been such a complete collection of his films, one that fans and collectors alike wouldn’t want to miss. To be released in December, i’m writing this down in my Christmas wish list. Available for $299 pre-order now at Amazon.
