Moviedrome screening of Akira Kurosawa's 'Seven Samurai' at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough.
Seven Samurai is coming to the Stephen Joseph Theatre on Saturday 27 November, as part of the Moviedrome cinema series. It's Akira Kurosawa's 1954 epic, and if you've never seen it on a big screen, this is a good chance to catch it in Scarborough.
The story is one of the most famous in cinema: a small village of farmers, desperate and out of options, hires seven ronin to protect them from a band of bandits. It's a slow-burn of a film, spending a good deal of its time on the gathering of the samurai and the preparation of the village before the fighting actually starts. By the time the climax arrives, you've spent enough time with the characters to care about what happens to them.

It's a long one, so settle in. The Moviedrome screenings bring cinema into the theatre, and seeing a film of this scale on a proper screen is a different experience from watching it at home. If you're a fan of Kurosawa, or just fancy a proper old-school epic on a Saturday night, this is the one to keep an eye on. The screening is at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough on 27 November.
