FREE Film: Yojimbo (1961)

dir. Akira Kurosawa
Director Akira Kurosawa’s visually stunning and darkly comic Yojimbo features the incomparable Toshiro Mifune as Sanjuro, a wily masterless samurai. To rid a terror-stricken village of corruption, Sanjuro enters a gang war between two evil clans and plays them against each other. Mifune’s ability to convey unvarnished emotion led him to be considered one of the finest actors in the history of film. Remade twice by Sergio Leone and Walter Hill, this exhilarating genre-twister remains one of the most influential and entertaining films of all time.
Bardavon Presents our 24/25 film series, PREMIER PERFORMANCES. This year’s film choices focus on legendary stars of stage and screen in some of their most memorable roles. In addition to the screenings being free of charge, all nine films in the series are preceded by a Happy Hour, featuring half-price beer and wine, as well as free snacks and soda. For all films, Happy Hour starts at 6:30, followed by each screening at 7:30. Additionally, all Bardavon screenings feature a 30-minute pre-show concert by Juan Cardona Jr. on the Bardavon’s Mighty Wurlitzer organ, courtesy of NYTOS. Join us and experience a piece of cinematic history!
Curated by the Kingston Film Foundation, and made possible with support from Marshall & Sterling, Radio Kingston, Herzog’s, Woodstock Film Festival, NYTOS, and the Poughkeepsie Public Library District.
