In his late color masterpiece Kagemusha (The Shadow Warrior) director Akira Kurosawa returned to the samurai film and to a primary theme of his celebrated career the play between illusion and reality. Sumptuously reconstructing the splendor of feudal Japan and pageantry of war, Kurosawa creates a soaring historical epic that is also a somber meditation on the nature of power. (War/Drama, 1980) "Kagemusha is majestic, stately, cool and, in many of its details, almost abstract." - Vincent Canby, The New York Times
