</font></b></font></b></font><font size="1">The National Film Theatre
launches its 50th anniversary year with a major retrospective of
the films of Akira Kurosawa, one of the greatest film-makers of
20th century, perhaps the best known of all Japanese directors and
a true master of cinema.</font></p>
<p><font size="1"><b><a href="../../kensington/photogallery/kuro/">see images of
the original Japanese posters for Kurosawa's films</a></b></font></p>
<p><font size="1">Though Akira Kurosawa became world-famous, he always
thought of himself as completely Japanese. Once, in angry rebuttal
to a critic's comment that he made films for foreign audiences he
said: 'If a work cannot have meaning to Japanese audiences, then
I - as a Japanese artist - am simply not interested in it.' Precisely,
he was interested in what Japanese critics call 'shakkaimono', meaningful
films about social issues seen in personal terms. When Kurosawa
died in 1998 at the age of 88 he had completed a body of work which
delineated (as well as the human condition) Japanese society. During
50 years, from 1943 to 1993, he created 31 films which suggested
solutions and illuminated his subject.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="1">Nothing if not utterly entertaining, nothing if
not utterly serious, the films of Akira Kurosawa turn social concern
into an unforgettable adventure and leave us the legacy of a director
who made a superb attempt to make some sense of his world. <br>
