To celebrate the upcoming 100th birthday of the late famed director Akira Kurosawa, Turner Classic Movies is running a Kurosawa marathon for the next three Tuesdays in March. Starting at 8 pm EST tonight, it kicks off with Ikiru, the story of a bureaucrat who finally decides to try living once he's been diagnosed with a fatal disease. That's followed by Throne of Blood, then The Hidden Fortress (which is said to be a major inspiration for Star Wars), and two other movies. The marathon's running for the next twelve hours on this first block. The marathon's culmination on Tuesday, March 23 is capped off by classic films Rashomon, The Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, and Ran. For those who've seen little to none of Kurosawa's work (and I'm unfortunately among that group), this is a golden opportunity to see one of the best and most influential directors in history. You can get the full schedule at the link below. While there, I suggest taking time to click on the sidebar links for each of the films, which give really great descriptions about each. http://www.tcm.com/thismonth/article/?cid=290045mainArticleId=290029
