"Akira Kurosawa has eight or nine." Through masterpieces such as Kagemusha, Seven Samurai, and High and Low, Akira Kurosawa (1910-98) influenced directors from George Lucas and Steven Spielberg to Martin Scorsese, and his groundbreaking innovations in cinematography and editing, combined with his storytelling, made him a cinematic icon.
