Reviews:

An impressive film if not one of Kurosawa’s best
I find Akira Kurasawa to be not just the Master of Japanese cinema but also one of the all-time great directors. The Silent Duel is not one of the finest examples of why I think that, I do think it could’ve been longer and I did feel that the narrative while having a great idea and having some very moving moments especially in the final act has some clumsy patches. However, it is delicately directed and is made absolutely beautifully with well-compositioned cinematography and striking scenery. The score has a haunting sense of coolness, while the acting is excellent. Toshiro Mifune would give more remarkable performances in other Kurosawa films with characters more multi-layered than here, however he does play noble very well. Takashi Shimura would later give one of the most heartbreaking performances in all of film in Ikiru, but gives a likewise commanding performance. Norika Serigoku is also wonderful, her character is annoying at first but you do warm to her later on, and Serigoku where self-absorbed or touching does convey those characteristics very well. In a nutshell, Kurosawa has done better in my view, but I found much still to be impressed about. 8/10 Bethany Cox

A duel within oneself…
What a chaotic but hopeful ending! We almost never leave the hospital. But the sadness within Kyoji (played by Toshirô Mifune) itself very much takes you away, so much that I had to pause the movie at a certain point, and think about what would happen or rather how would I feel if I were in his place. Of course I wouldn’t be this engaged in this thought if it wasn’t for Toshirô Mifune’s acting. And what an amazing actor he is. Also, the scene between Kyoji and his father (played by the great Takashi Shimura) was very sweet and touching. This terrific early work of Kurosawa should definitely be seen by more people.
