High and Low - 2025 Restoration - Kurosawa Cinema

High and Low (A Requisite Cinema Screening) / Japan/ 1963/ Dir: Akira Kurosawa/ 142 Min/ Current Rotten Tomatoes Score: 96%

Toshiro Mifune is unforgettable as Kingo Gondo, a wealthy industrialist whose family becomes the target of a cold-blooded kidnapper in High and Low (Tengoku to jigoku), the highly influential domestic drama and police procedural from director Akira Kurosawa. Adapting Ed McBain’s detective novel King’s Ransom, Kurosawa moves effortlessly from compelling race-against-time thriller to exacting social commentary, creating a diabolical treatise on contemporary Japanese society.
