Akira Kurosawa: Born in Japan in 1910, Kurosawa trained as a painter, and entered the film industry as an AD. He made his feature directorial debut in 1943, and with 1950’s Rashomon Kurosawa drew acclaim from the West. American critics and audiences appreciated his interpretation of the Western genre, and US directors have copied him ever since. Kurosawa continued to work proficiently, producing other successful offerings from 1961’s Yojimbo, to 1985’s Ran; although Akira struggled personally, and even attempted suicide in 1971. His later work was of a more personal than epic nature. Akira Kurosawa died in 1998.
