no.124 Samurai Fiction
This is one of the best things I've seen in ages! Made by an MTV Japan staple, it brings Kurosawa fiefdom storytelling together with amazing music - the music creating an amazing mood, literally a character of itself. The story totally is based on Kurosawa-esque iconic characters, or well, caricatures there of, just a little over the top idiom players.
Filmed in 98, this was considered Volume One, but there were no further stories, unfortunately. This was so witty and a great way for the original MTV Generation (of which I totally consider myself) to be introduced to Japanese film. Granted, that's more for the Japanese, but I really think this could be a must first for Americans to enter into the amazing world on Asian cinema.
