That’s pretty nice! Enjoy the show if you attend the screening. 🙂

I’ve seen Seven Samurai many times, but this was the first time on the big screen. It still amazes me just how good it is – and on the big screen there are many details I’d overlooked in the past.
There are more Kurosawa films at another mini season in December in the IFI Dublin – Japanese Story. The website doesn’t say, but this seems to be a BFI event – its separate from the usual annual Japanese film festival here.

I saw Seven Samurai on TV the first time, but my second viewing was in a theater. I don’t remember feeling that it was a big improvement, though; I feel that way more about Ran, which I saw in the theater when it was released.

How was the show
I’m not sure what’s behind this, but without much fanfare Seven Samurai is showing around the UK and Ireland next week. The Guardian has a review here. Its in Dublin in the IFI from tomorrow (19 October).
