In any case a fairly decent price for this in my opinion
One of the greatest films of all time Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai has influenced the work of director's from George Lucas to Steven Spielberg, and spawned remakes, such as John Sturges acclaimed The Magnificent Seven.
With their village raided every year by vicious bandits, a group of peasants hire seven warriors to protect them. Initially met with suspicion the warriors eventually gain the trust of the peasants and they join forces to face the bandits
This Blu-ray edition includes alternative presentations of the film, a new and exclusive interview with Asian-cinema expert Tony Rayns, and the film's original Japanese trailer.
Endlessly copied but never surpassed, Seven Samuraiis a truly timeless classic

Don't know if you're in Liverpool (going off the badge, ynwa btw) but Liverpool badly needs a Fopp. Not had a good record store in Liverpool since the old Virgin Megastores. Fopp one of the best shops in Manchester. Plenty of great films in there atm on Blu Ray for £6.

Shame there's no official review on blu-ray.com of the UK release (which is different to the Criterion disc) but the user reviews give it 3 to 3.5 for the video quality. Apparently the Criterion release is the best out there...
Still, voted hot for the price and the movie.
Also, if you can't get to Fopp and fancy dipping your feet into Kurosawa, this box is a pretty good buy: Kurosawa: The Samurai Collection Blu-ray
Throw on the WELCOME code for new customers and you'll get that box for £23.40, £4.68 a film!

I am assuming you like me are film mad and paid a fortune for a chipped Blu ray player to make it multi region. But most Brits have region locked players so can not enjoy Criterion discs.
That's is the main reason I got mine chipped. I now have 25 Criterion blu's.
But yes to most Europeans they are pointless.
