Podcasts about Tatsuya Nakadai

The boys head to Japan this week to discuss Akira Kurosawa's “Yojimbo”. Starring Toshiro Mifune, the film is considered one of the most influential movies of all time. It's so influential that an entire series of westerns ripped it off so good they couldn't be released in the US for years due to threats of lawsuits. Anyway, this film is awesome, but did the boys think it stands up to the other Kurosawa greats? Grab a beer and tune in!  Our phone number is 646-484-9298.

Based on 1570's Feudal Japan, this historical epic was a masterpiece of its time. Akira Kurosawa was near the end of his career, and hadn't made a film in some time, but this was his valiant return with the Film Kagemusha: the Shadow Warrior. The film almost never seen the light of day if it weren't for the Western counterparts to cover the remaining budget and distribution.Based on the true events Takeda Shingen and his clan, this film delves into the historical aspects of the era and the politic behind it. The famous warlord dies to an assassin of one of the competing factions, but one of his last requests was to keep the appearance that he was alive for the sake of the clan. The top generals of this clan seek out a shadow warrior or counterfeit Shingen to play the roll of the warlord. Many competing clans are fighting for power, and suspect he may be dead, but are unable to say for certain.Directed by Akira Kurosawa, with George Lucas, and Francis Ford Coppola and starring Tatsuya Nakadai.

For the first half of the 1960s, Akira Kurosawa was arguably at the peak of his career, making masterpiece after masterpiece at a rate that was sure to surpass the heights of his ‘50s glories. But then, after making the most beloved film of his career, he hit a wall. There would be several more great films to come, but for a while there it seemed like the career of one of cinema's most widely celebrated masters had come to an end. In this episode, Bart and Jenna discuss what happened to Kurosawa's second half of the decade, but mostly they relish the opportunity to finally cross off some ‘60s cinema heavy-hitters from their list. From the banging drums of Yojimbo, to the harrowing screams of Red Beard, with some striking and atypical gendai-geki thrillers along the way, the episode is packed with must-see films. Listen as Jenna admires Kurosawa's artistry but occasionally struggles with his pacing, while Bart rapturously discovers that some old favorites are even better than he remembered.The following films are discussed:• The Bad Sleep Well (1960) 悪い奴ほどよく眠る / Warui yatsu hodo yoku nemuru Directed by Akira Kurosawa Starring Toshiro Mifune, Masayuki Mori, Kyoko Kagawa • Yojimbo (1961) 用心棒 / Yôjinbô Directed by Akira Kurosawa Starring Toshiro Mifune, Tatsuya Nakadai, Yoko Tsukasa • Sanjuro (1962) 椿三十郎 / Tsubaki Sanjûrô Directed by Akira Kurosawa Starring Toshiro Mifune, Tatsuya Nakadai, Keiju Kobayashi • High and Low (1963) 天国と地獄 / Tengoku to jigoku Directed by Akira Kurosawa Starring Toshiro Mifune, Tatsuya Nakadai, Kyōko Kagawa • Red Beard (1965) 赤ひげ / Akahige Directed by Akira Kurosawa Starring Toshiro Mifune, Yūzō Kayama, Reiko Dan • Tora! Tora! Tora! (1970) トラ・トラ・トラ！ Directed by Richard Fleischer, Toshio Masuda & Kinji Fukasaku Starring So Yamamura, Martin Balsam, Tatsuya Mihashi

The horror persists but so does Kaji! As the Reds advance and the Japanese Army begins to sacrifice itself on the altar of glorious death in battle, Kaji knows that this not the end for him. Somewhere, his beloved wife Michiko is waiting, the one desperate hope left as Kaji plows south. His humanist instincts remain, but Kaji is no longer the naive idealist that stepped out of school and into a labour camp. Hardened by reality and pragmatism, he still tries to save lives on his long, hard journey towards home. Next week: a bit of a mood break as we veer off the list for a short while. Questions?

The saga continues with Part 2 of this epic saga. This time, Kaji becomes a prisoner of sorts and is forced to be the one that relies on outside forces to be impartial and perhaps even helpful in his struggle. The guys talk about that as well as the similarities to Full Metal Jacket, the tragicomic suicide scene, the intimidating line of tanks emerging from the horizon and much more.

The day has arrived. Brendan and Jason finally dive into the first part of Masaki Kobyashi's monster nine-hour epic - The Human Condition! Allowing him to avoid the draft and marry his sweetheart, Kaji takes a job at a forced labour camp manned by Chinese prisoners. A modern man with modern ideas, Kaji tries to reform the camp system through better treatment of prisoners. Can he cut through the graft and the culture to make a difference? Next week: Part 2!

Direction Yokohama, ville Japonaise située au sud de Tokyo, pour cette nouvelle enquête sous forme de dilemme moral et autour d'un enfant kidnappé avec Entre le ciel et l'enfer de Akira Kurosawa réalisé en 1963.  Une véritable tempête sous un crane pour l'immense Toshirō Mifune, sa quinzième et avant-dernière collaboration avec le cinéaste avant le magnifique Barberousse,  et avant de basculée en enquête ultra-réaliste nous menant progressivement dans les bas-fond les plus sordides de la ville. Soit l'un des plus beaux polars jamais réalisés. Et c'est Gérald Duchaussoy, responsable de la section Cannes Classics au Festival de Cannes, chargé de la programmation au Marché International du Film Classique au festival Lumière, à Lyon et co-auteur de  Mario Bava, le magicien des couleurs paru Lobster Films en 2019, qui nous accompagne cette fois-ci.  Retrouvez la photo signalétique de l'invité en début d'émission ainsi que les complices (un film dans le même giron) en toute fin de podcast.

On this week's episode, our host reviews the Japanese Jidaigeki masterpiece Harakiri directed by Masaki Kobayashi, written by Shinobu Hashimoto, and starring the legendary Tatsuya Nakadai. Tatsuya Nakadai's performance in this film was beyond words you will have to look far and wide to find a performance on par with his in the movie. Fun Fact: Tatsuya Nakadai played co-star Chief Detective Tokura in last week's review of High And Low. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/collin-sugg/message

Ransom: Akira Kurosawa's High & Low There are no shortage of names that define our undersrtanding and foster our enjoyment of Cinema. Scorsese, Fellini, Bergman, Leone, Eisenstein, Spielberg, Chaplin, Keaton, Lumet, Ford, Hawks . . . the list could run for pages (and fortunately for us it does). There is a name that cannot be left off . . . Best known for his Jidaigeki - Historical (Action) Dramas - including Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, Rashomon, Throne of Blood, and The Hidden Fortress (to name a few), Kurosawa was a master at the modern drama, as well. Ikiru, The Bad Sleep Well, Drunken Angel, Stray Dog are a few of his modern explorations of Japanese life after the war. A masterpiece (rarely discussed and criminally underseen) is 1963's High & Low. Adapted from Ed McBain's 87th Precinct series of crime novels, High & Low is a beautiflly nuanced and brilliantly tension-guided police procedural. Re-teaming in their fifteenth (of sixteen) collaborations, Kurosawa and Toshiro Mifune come together to tell one of the greatest films in both mens' filmographies. This is an incredible film that Mr. Chavez and I are thrilled to bring to you.

This month is ASSHOLES ON FILM for our theme and we're keeping it vintage this midweek as we explore a Samurai classic that was actually considered a big flop and all production of a follow up ceased after it's release. Perhaps the Japanese film goers at the time didn't appreciate Kihachi Okamoto's interpretation of a popular serialized story but the tale of the stone cold killer, Ryonusuke, stood the test of time as one of the Samurai genre's most compelling features. We're talking the 1966 classic “THE SWORD OF DOOM” starring Tatsuya Nakadai, Michiyo Aratama & Toshiro Mifune. Don't expect much honor in this tale but you might find it to be an intoxicating study in evil. Oh look!

"I do know my room was so cold in winter and so hot in summer I couldn't sleep. Your house looked like heaven, high up there. That's how I began to hate you." On this episode hosts Christopher Funderburg and John Cribbs discuss the namesake of this very site, Akira Kurosawa's intense crime masterpiece High and Low! A long-standing favorite of the Pink Smoke, its founders are always excited to dig into this thriller about the harrowing moral decisions forced into play by a botched kidnapping. The film's unique structure moves from a single-set drama about corporate back-stabbing to an expansive police procedural that winds its way through every level of Tokyo and, consequently, shifts its focus from Toshiro Mifune as an executive under pressure to Tatsuya Nakadai as the detective chasing down every lead. Brilliant from start to finish, there's a case to be made that High and Low represents the culmination of the finest era in the Japanese master's body of work. Support our Patreon:

We start into Masaki Koboyashi's epically faithful adaptation of Junpei Gomikawa's six volume examination of Japan in World War 2 through the lens of a man who generally opposes war, or at least militarism, played by the great Tatsuya Nakadai. The Human Condition is, in total, just shy of 10 hours long. But it's helpfully broken up into three films (each containing two sections) released between January 1959 and January 1961. We'll be similarly breaking down Spine 480 into three episodes.

Welcome to episode 32 of Holly Jolly X'masu! In this special Halloween episode, I discuss the 1978 movie, “Blue Christmas – Blood Type: Blue,” and its soundtrack. Once I finally tracked down a copy, I really had no idea what to expect from “Blue Christmas.” At times, it's a gritty, tense, and unnerving thriller. At other times, it's uneven and somewhat outlandish, with some improbably bad acting and several unnecessarily explicit references to Hitler and the Holocaust. The good outweighs the bad, though, so I'm glad I was able to see it. Blue Christmas Trailer While the editing could have been a little tighter, Okamoto's direction is fine. I love the overall look of the movie and there are some truly gorgeous scenes. As long as nobody is speaking English, the cast is great. The bulk of the non-Japanese actors were amateurish at best. The main cast was splendid, though. Tatsuya Nakadai as Kazuya Minami Yusuke Okada as Kidokoro, and Harumi Arai as Yuko Takamatsu Hiroshi Katsuno as Oki Taisuke Keiko Takeshita as Saeko Nishida Masaya Oki as Harada John Super-powered Alan George Reno The Humanoids! The Christmas scenes were great, as were the closing shots of Oki and Saeko's tragic end. Char's “Blue Christmas” really grew on me, especially after watching the movie all the way through six times, then scanning through multiple times for notes and screen captures. Given the choice, I'll listen to the Japanese version, but I'm glad I got both copies. Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoyed my recap of “Blue Christmas” and its music. While not strictly a horror movie, it was a fun way to bring a little eerie, Halloween feeling to the podcast. Join me back here next month for a couple albums from the 1960s. First up is Yujiro Ishihara's 1966 album, “Xmas Carol.” It's a fine vocal album and one any fan of Perry Como or Andy Williams should enjoy. Then tune in on the 25th for Satoru Oda's splendid 1964 album, “Tenor in X'mas.” It's a wonderful Mood Kayo sax album, and one you don't want to miss. As always, any feedback on this episode would be appreciated. If have any suggestions, or if you'd like to recommend a song or album for a future episode, drop me a line and let me know.

Last week we said goodbye to the OG Kurosawa king, Takashi Shimura. This week, we say goodbye to Tatsuya Nakadai, and boy did he go out with a bang. Nakadai headlines Akira Kurosawa’s third, final, and largest Shakespeare adaptation: Ran. This Japanese version of King Lear was created with a historic budget, vibrant colors, and produced some of the director’s most iconic and incredible imagery. Kurosawa’s final foray into epic filmmaking may be his best yet. Listen here: https://linktr.ee/sanshirosboys

Following the enormous success of Yojimbo, Akira Kurosawa created his second and only sequel: Sanjuro. This satire of the average chambara film sees Toshiro Mifune reprising the titular role, once again opposite Tatsuya Nakadai in a completely different role. Sanjuro is another fun Kurosawa adventure and may be his most overt comedy, but how does it stack up to its predecessor? Tune in to Sanshiro’s Boys, or rather this week, Sanjuro’s Boys, and find out!Listen here: https://linktr.ee/sanshirosboys

Sanshiro’s Boys are kicking off 2021 by discussing one of Akira Kurosawa’s most popular and often-imitated films: Yojimbo. Toshiro Mifune shows off his unmatched sword fighting skills as a wandering ronin caught between two rival gangs. We also get our first of many appearances of iconic Japanese actor Tatsuya Nakadai, as well as the return of Rashomon cinematographer Kazuo Miyagawa. This is truly what peak performance looks like.Listen here: https://linktr.ee/sanshirosboys

Welcome to (perhaps) the largest Extra Milestone yet! In an Anyway, That’s All I Got reunion for the ages, I’m joined by Anthony Battaglia, Guy Simons Jr., and Jason Read to discuss three of the biggest epics of the 21st century! First up is Barry Lyndon, the passion project of Stanley Kubrick released in 1975, and a film that’s quite well-loved among hardcore cinephiles.

CW: discussion of sexual assault as plot. As jidaigeki, samurai period pieces, Kurosawa’s films often level critiques against power structures by depicting their effects on laypeople. Kihachi Okamoto’s SWORD OF DOOM touches on those with a tale of violence set amid the resistance of the Meiji Restoration in 19th century Japan, using distinctly un-Kurosawa styles to heighten reality just ever so much. Tatsuya Nakadai’s unhinged, wayward swordsman, Ryunosuke, doesn’t have A moral code. He has what he thinks is THE moral code – until he’s confronted by a better Toshiro Mifune’s Shimada practitioner with the exact inverse ideology.

I fjärde avsnittet av Cinematiska Podden diskuterar och analyserar Daniel och Anton den japanska långfilmen Yojimbo (1961), i regi av Akira Kurosawa. Det blir ett samtal om bl.a. Kurosawas bildspråk, hans skickligheter som manusförfattare, valet av kameraplacering, komedin i hans uttryck, västernfilmen och vad som kännetecknar genren, och hur japanska samuraj-filmer inspirerade västernfilm och vice versa. Toshiro Mifunes kroppspråk, antihjälten och vandraren, naturens betydelse i filmen, samt funderingar kring mullbärsbusken…Cinematiska Podden är en podcast om film, som har ett högt cinematiskt värde.

Tatsuya Nakadai and Toshiro Mifune star in the story of a wandering samurai who exists in a maelstrom of violence. A gifted swordsman plying his craft during the turbulent final days of shogunate rule in Japan, Ryunosuke (Nakadai) kills without remorse or mercy. It is a way of life that ultimately leads to madness   Horror Connections: Evil Dead 2, Zodiac, Throne Of Blood

This week we bring on fellow Twin Geeks writer Graham Austin to discuss the samurai classic, Akira Kurosawa's masterful Yojimbo. Making waves in both Japan and around the world first in 1961, this all-time great has stood the test of time and remains a pillar of the much beloved samurai genre. Toshiro Mifune is the laconic samurai incarnate, so perfectly embodying the role that he would become practically synonymous with this particular nameless warrior, which he so eloquently plays. Against him is he equally indelible Tatsuya Nakadai, paired here for the first time in their careers. They go toe-to-toe in a samurai showdown that is tense, thrilling, and masterfully staged. Truly, Yojimbo is one of the all time greats, and we shed some light on why it's one of our favorites here today.

On a ressorti le film Kagemusha !On change de pays et même d’époque tant qu’à faire. Bienvenue dans Kagemusha l'ombre du guerrier d'Akira Kurosawa. Accrochez-vous parce qu’on va se marrer ou se perdre (c’est selon).Japon, XVIème siècle, une féroce guerre des clans divise l’archipel. L’un des plus puissants est le clan Takeda mené par le leader charismatique et quasi vénéré Shingen. Il rêve de prendre la capitale, Kyoto et ainsi devenir seigneur du pays. Mais lors de l’assaut du château de Noda il est mortellement blessé. Il fait alors passer un ordre un peu spécial pour sauvegarder son clan. Le frère de Shingen met dont en place un stratagème pour respecter la volonté de son frère. Il va utiliser un banal voleur comme doublure, l’idée semble étrange au départ mais ce dernier est le sosie parfait du seigneur défunt. Mais le Kagemusha (guerrier de l’ombre en japonais) n’a que le physique de commun avec le chef de clan. Sa présence et son allure manquent plusieurs fois de le faire démasquer mais il apprendra vite la vérité sur son rôle. Il comprendra dès lors, l’importance de sa mission quand il découvrira la vérité et réussira a bluffer les espions ennemis, le petit fils, les concubines et même ceux qui sont dans la confidence !Mais autant chez l’ennemi que dans le clan, des manigances se préparent dans l’ombre…Le film s’ouvre sur un plan unique, fixe et statique de six minutes. On nous présente ici Shingen Takeda, son frère, Nobukado et un voleur qui vient d’échapper à la peine de mort. La ressemblance flagrante entre lui et le seigneur Takeda pourrait bien servir au clan. Tatsuya Nakadai jouant les deux rôles (celui de Shingen et du Kagemusha) le plan est évidement un astucieux trucage. En VF pour accentuer la différence deux comédiens diffèrent doubleront chacun des personnages ; à savoir les talentueux Pierre Hatet et Marc De Georgi.Tatsuya Nakadai a la dure tache d’incarner la figure historique de Shingen Takeda, mais aussi sa doublure. Ce qui pour un acteur traditionnel ne serait pas chose aisé mais Nakadai était un véritable caméléon pouvant tout jouer et étant méconnaissable film après film. Son talent l’avait même fait devenir petit à petit le remplaçant de Toshiro Mifune comme acteur fétiche de Kurosawa. Et si vous le cherchez aujourd’hui, le bougre n’est pas mort, il est au casting du film d’animation Le Conte de la princesse Kaguya, un film récemment réalisé par le grand Isao Takahata.Kagemusha permis à son auteur, âgé à l’époque de 70 ans, d’avoir enfin la reconnaissance internationale qu’il méritait, et rafler au passage la Palme D’or à Cannes en 1980. Mais au prix de quelques concessions. N’arrivant pas à obtenir le budget nécessaire pour son projet, Kurosawa se tourna vers la peinture pour raconter son histoire. Ces peintures servirent à convaincre ses deux plus grands fans, George Lucas et Francis F.Coppola, de produire son film (rien que ça !). Ces peintures serviront également de story-board et on peut dire que ça se voit ; de par le foisonnement de couleurs omniprésentes, visibles sur les costumes authentiques. Mais aussi par la photographie, les scènes de bataille couvertes d’éclairs rouge feu ou la célèbre scène du rêve qu’on croirait tout droit sortie de l’imaginaire torturé d’un aliéné.Bon après, ce n’est peut-être pas le plus épique des films de genre qu’on pourrait voir. Il suffit de regarder Les 7 Samouraïs pour s’en rendre compte, mais il est bon de nuancer cela au regard de la scène de batailles finale tournée en deux mois et inspirée de la véritable bataille de Nagashino de 1575.Pour conclure, notons que la Bande Originale du film est composée par Shinishiro Ikebe. Au final, que dire de ce film, qui n’a pas déjà été dit, film magistral, avec sa mise en scène extraordinaire. Les superlatifs manquent, donc pour conclure je dirais bêtement « Uwasa wo Sureba Kage » ! Comprenne qui pourra…Retrouve tous les podcasts du Cinéma Avec Un Grand A sur les plateformes de podcasts:

Harakiri is not only one of the finest samurai films ever made but also a commentary on the rise of feudalism in Japan and its abuse of the people it sought to rule. The film stars Tatsuya Nakadai as desperate ronin who implores the head of a castle to allow him to commit seppuku inside its courtyard. Mike White joins Chris once again to discuss the final film of Samurai September and how it may be one of the cinema's greats.

In the Japanese Sengoku period, a diminishing number of daimyos battle to see who will unite the country and become Shogun. The Takeda clan is headed by the immoveable Shingen, fighting the combined forces of Nobunaga and Tokugawa. When Shingen is mortally wounded, his generals bring in a double - a kagemusha - to keep the clan from collapsing and their enemies on their toes. A magnificent return to form for the emperor of film, Akira Kurosawa, with Tatsuya Nakadai taking on the roles of the feared Takeda daimyo and his low-caste double.

The orderly, rigid code of bushido smashes up against human feeling in Masaki Kobayashi's Harakiri (1962), a stunningly trenchant piece of subversive film-making --written by Rashoman and Seven Samurai scribe Shinobu Hashimoto, and starring the great Tatsuya Nakadai -- that threatens to demolish the foundational ethos all of samurai cinema is built upon.

Samurajepos! Vi avslutar året med två rediga samurajfilmer.Samurai Rebellion är en film från Masaki Kobayashi - regissören av Film och Skit-favoriten Seppuku. I filmen spelar inte bara Toshiro Mifune, utan också Tatsuya Nakadai! Med andra ord är den så späckad av förutsättningar så man nästan spricker. Som tur är levererar filmen! Vi båda älskade den.Heaven and Earth är ett försök till historiskt epos från Haruki Kadokawa - miljardärsarvingen till Kadokawa-förlaget. Den är proppad med statister som springer fram och tillbaka, men andra kvalitéer än det saknas. Ingen av oss var mycket för filmen. Rekommenderas endast till samurajfilmsfantaster.
