"From filmmaker to filmgoer, you're always in good hands with a
little Pepperman at your side -- and...Watching Seven Samurai is no
exception." -- Billy Altman, Cultural Critic: New York Times, New
Yorker
"Richard Pepperman gives the reader a lively, scene-by-scene tour
of Kurosawa's masterpiece, pointing out the visual and storytelling
choices that make the film so distinguished. For many of us, the
book's title speaks truth." -- Stephen Prince, Author, The
Warrior's Camera: The Cinema of Akira Kurosawa
"Any film director who can count a minimum of 12 masterpieces among
his films is clearly unique and worthy of serious study. An
excellent introduction to the work of Kurosawa." Francis Ford
Coppola
