“One of the best detective thrillers ever filmed.”—A.O. Scott, New York Times
Toshiro Mifune is unforgettable as Kingo Gondo, a wealthy industrialist whose family becomes the target of a cold-blooded kidnapper in High and Low, the highly influential domestic drama and police procedural from director Akira Kurosawa.
Adapting Ed McBain’s detective novel King’s Ransom, Kurosawa moves effortlessly from compelling race-against-time thriller to exacting social commentary, creating a diabolical treatise on contemporary Japanese society.
This year saw the release of Spike Lee’s adaptation of the film, Highest 2 Lowest, starring Denzel Washington. 1963, Japan, 4K DCP, in Japanese with English subtitles, 143 minutes. Recommended for 16+
