LA Happenings: Celebrate Kurosawa's Birthday With Screenings At The Crest

Ben Umstead, Editor, U.S.; Richmond, Virginia (@filmbenjamin)

World-renowned filmmaker Kurosawa Akira was born March 23, 1910. To celebrate what would have been his 105th birthday (he passed away in 1998), The Crest Westwood movie palace are hosting Sunday screenings of some bonafide classics.

Coming up this Sunday, March 15, it's High and Low, Kurosawa's kidnapping-noir epic that gets deep into class politics without ever losing its hard-boiled edge.

The following Sundays see his jidai-geki touchstones take to the big screen: On March 22, Mifune Toshiro stars as Yojimbo, while Seven Samurai screens on March 29.

Full details, including the purchase of tickets, can be found on the venue's calendar.
