When one hears the phrase “Japanese samurai movie,” naturally one’s thoughts immediately go to Akira Kurosawa who directed some of the finest ones ever made. But Hideo Gosha’s Three Outlaw Samurai can hold its head high alongside the Kurosawa classics. Not generally known in the West, Hideo Gosha specialized in samurai and yakuza films, and this movie, his first feature, shows him off to a sterling start in a story that’s alive with fierce action and some thoughtful passages on the nature of pride and loyalty.
