Laemmle Theatres and Emerging Cinema continue their ongoing summer series ESSENTIAL ARTHOUSE, with Akira Kurosawa’s highly influential High and Low (Tengoku to jigoku).
Toshiro Mifune is unforgettable as Kingo Gondo, a wealthy industrialist whose family becomes the target of a cold-blooded kidnapper in Adapting Ed McBain’s detective novel King’s Ransom, Kurosawa moves effortlessly from compelling race-against-time thriller to exacting social commentary, creating a penetrating portrait of contemporary Japanese society.
ESSENTIAL ARTHOUSE, is a summer weekend morning series of classic world cinema from the peerless Janus Films Library.
