“Goyokin,” which translates to “Official God,” is perhaps Hideo Gosha's finest film. Written by Gosha and Kei Tasaka, many of the director's regular players, including Tatsuya Nakadai and Tetsuro Tamba, star here. Toshiro Mifune was initially cast as the character Samon Fujimaki. However, production difficulties resulted in him being replaced by Kinnosuke Nakamura. “Goyokin” was a critical and financial hit upon release and remains a highly regarded piece of Japanese cinema.

(Welcome to The Movies That Made "Star Wars," a series where we explore the films and television properties that inspired George Lucas' iconic universe. In this edition: The classic jidaigeki film "Three Outlaw Samurai.")
As the first feature film from the legendary Japanese filmmaker Hideo Gosha, "Three Outlaw Samurai," holds a special place in the pantheon of Japanese films. It tells the story of three samurai who battle corruption and balance their honor and obedience to the system that produced them with doing what's actually right — something that feels almost radical in this style of filmmaking. The movie's stars — Tetsurô Tanba, Isamu Nagato, and Mikijirô Hira as the titular samurai — were reprising their roles from a television show with the same name that had started the year before. According to the essay by Bilge Eberi that accompanies the Criterion Collection's excellent Blu-ray transfer of the film, the original show seems lost to time.

The intriguing drama, Country of Blind, featuring Hina Khan, Shoib Nikash Shah, Pradhuman Singh, Mir Sarwar, and Inaamulhaq, written and directed by Rahhat Shah Kazmi, is set to release on October 6th in the US.
Adapted from H.G. Wells’ 1904 story of the same name, the film transplants the tale from a fictitious mountain in Ecuador to the Himalayas of India. Set in the 18th century, Country of Blind follows the journey of Abhimanyu when he slips off a cliff and falls a thousand feet into a forgotten valley. He finds a country cut off from the rest of the world, where all the inhabitants are blind. What happens when a sighted man falls into a society that has existed for fifteen generations with no understanding of what it means to see? This movie explores the answer to that question.
The villagers do not have any concept about the world outside their valley.
