Ghost of Tsushima Review: A Beautiful Homage to Akira Kurosawa

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Ghost of Tsushima is a daring departure for Sucker Punch, who since 2009 has worked solely on the Playstation-exclusive Infamous series. While those games were steeped in modernity, offering sprawling cityscapes players could explore from top to bottom via superpowered “conduits” Cole MacGrath and Delsin Rowe, Ghost of Tsushima’s open world is set in feudal Japan. It’s here that we meet young samurai Jin Sakai, who must defend his homeland, the titular island of Tsushima, from an invading Mongol army. Right off the bat, the shift in time period and milieu to 13th century Japan is notable because Sucker Punch…

Ghost of Tsushima: Essential Kurosawa Samurai Movies to Watch Before the Game

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Ghost of Tsushima‘s developers at Sucker Punch have been very explicit about the ways the samurai films of legendary Japanese director Akira Kurosawa have influenced their game. The PS4 exclusive even features a “Kurosawa Mode” that allows you to apply a stylish black-and-white filter to the experience, recreating the somber mood and film grain of the director’s work. Anyone who tells a modern samurai story owes some kind of debt to Kurosawa. He may not have been the first director to tell a samurai story via film and his legacy as one of the greatest directors of all-time may have…

Ghost of Tsushima Directors Explain Akira Kurosawa’s Influence

New DVD release, , , , , ,
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Ghost of Tsushima creative directors Jason Connell and Nate Fox discussed how the works of legendary film director Akira Kurosawa influenced the upcoming PlayStation 4 game. “We have this great game that transports people back to feudal Japan and Akira Kurosawa was one of our reference guides, especially early on about how we wanted it to feel,” Connell explains. Fox expands upon that idea by describing how the team used specific Kurosawa films as direct influences. “I think one that is just crystal clear is the movie Sanjuro,” Fox says. “It’s a film that…

The Ghost of Peter Sellers

Max SchindlerMovie reviews, ,
In 1973 Peter Sellers, one of the biggest comedy actors at the time, embarked on a pirate comedy for Columbia Pictures. He lost confidence with the film immediately and tried to sabotage it, first firing the producers before turning on his friend (and the film's young director), Peter Medak. Despite an illustrious career and the passing of 43 years since the unraveling production, Medak is still reeling from the disastrous experience and healing the wounds inflicted by Sellers and the film's failure.
