{"product_id":"0715515062619","title":"The First Films of Akira Kurosawa [Criterion Collection] [4 Discs]","description":"\"This box set from the popular Criterion Collection 'Eclipse' line - volume 23 in the series - presents four early and seldom-seen sound films by master Japanese director Akira Kurosawa, produced many years before the titles, such as Yojimbo and Rashomon, that turned Kurosawa into a household name. The set includes: the 1943 Sanshiro Sugata, Kurosawa's debut film, on a judo student's difficult but compelling spiritual journey; The Most Beautiful (1944), a propagandistic wartime drama about female volunteers employed at an optics factory; Sanshiro Sugata, Part Two (1945), the sequel to Kurosawa's debut, that continues the tale of Sanshiro and his quest to become a martial arts master; and The Men Who Tread on the Tiger's Tail (1945), a kabuki-inspired tale about a lord who disguises himself as a monk to get past a seemingly impenetrable roadblock.\"","brand":"Criterion Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42470152568893,"sku":"0715515062619","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/0715515062619_p0.jpg?v=1771578137","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.com\/products\/0715515062619","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
