Our hero Toshiro!
This is a nice doc about Mifune, along with a lot of Kurosawa. I didn't know much about Mifune's childhood, nor that he made so many films. Scorsese & Spielberg chime in, and it's narrated by Keanu. The talking heads include Mifune's son, Kurosawa's son, some leading ladies, a guy who was killed on screen by Mifune like 100x, a guy who was killed by Mifune on screen and also played Godzilla. It was good to put the films in order of production - that gave more context.
It was quite moving and now I want to watch some Mifune movies, but Hulu+ no longer carries the criterion collection.
DOOM recommended.
