Horse (Uma) (1941, Unrated)
Written by Akira Kurosawa with segments directed by him too. |
|

Sugata Sanshiro (Judo Saga) (Judo Story) (1943, Unrated)
Good story hampered by some choppy editing. Although there are a few gaps, some trademark Kurosawa visual shine through and does manage to retain your interest throughout. |

The Most Beautiful (1944, Unrated)

Zoku Sugata Sanshiro (Sanshiro Sugata 2) (Judo Saga II) (Judo Story II) (1945, Unrated)
This sequel manages to fall into a few cliches, but still maintains interest through its characters and Kurosawa's visual style. However, it is not necessarily a high point in the director's career. |
