We were very pleased to see that The Academy honored the great Tatsuya Nakadai in their “in memoriam” segment during last night’s Oscars broadcast.

Come discover or rediscover what made Nakadai one of the most enduring and versatile talents to grace the screen. He features in all three of the films we will be screening during our “Weekend with Akira Kurosawa!”
