A sequel to YOJIMBO, SANJURO features Toshirô Mifune reprising his role as the title character, an uncouth wanderer with a quick sword. While napping in a deserted shrine, the cynical and unkempt warrior is awakened by a meeting of nine young samurai who seek to weed out corruption within their city. While the youths take their situation at face value, the sleepy Sanjuro interjects with wise insight, pointing out that the real corruption may be hidden. The temple is suddenly surrounded by men seeking to kill the nine samurai, but Sanjuro cleverly hides them and fiercely deters the entire band of attackers, led by Muroto (Tatsuya Nakadai). Now indebted to Sanjuro, the novice warriors proceed to follow the unlikely hero around like lost puppies in their attempts to defeat the corrupt local officials. (oficjalny tekst dystrybutora)

I’m not sure whether Akira Kurosawa meant it as a joke, but it was quite funny. At the same time, you could feel the respect from the actors and also respect of the actors to the samurai craft as such. The whole thing is very mature and full of pearls of wisdom, just like is usual with Akira Kurosawa.

So far probably the weakest Akira Kurosawa film that I have seen. Samurai films in general do not sit well with me and I am wondering in vain whether it is due to a different culture or directorial incompetence, but overall it seems to me that the actors were overacting and there was a sense of pathos and posing in their performances. The plot itself is relatively simple and naive, and some of the dialogues seemed to me as if they were from another world. The leader of the mercenaries immediately befriends a completely unknown samurai and reveals important plans to him, which threaten both his superiors and himself. At the same time, in the conversation, he proudly admits that he is a heartless wretch - I have come across many unique scoundrels in my life, but none of them admitted to doing something immoral, let alone proudly proclaiming it. The fight scenes are exaggerated, and Mifune's samurai effortlessly dispatches ten opponents without noticeably getting out of breath - but that kind of thing is somehow part of the genre. Overall impression: 45%. What is positive about Sanjuro is that it does not take itself too seriously and the light-hearted tone saves a lot...

Weaker in content, but a royally entertaining and straightforward guide for aspiring samurai, where Mifune brings the nature of his legendary character to absolute perfection and manages to entertain this time even better than Kurosawa himself, who presents us with a story too flat and almost theatrical that focuses only on a very small narrative space. Still, it's great fun and a must for fans of both film greats. 80%

Toshirô Mifune and Akira Kurosawa are once again in very good shape, so their collaboration simply works. Samurai films in this rendition have their own poetry, they have good characters and honestly, I'm quite glad that this time Akira Kurosawa wasn't too extravagant and settled for a film with a runtime of one and a half hours.
