Yojimbo / Mulholland Drive




Kurosawa, like pizza, stands well enough on its own but also goes well with everything; and although Mulholland Dr. carries more than enough visual and psychological weight for the typical screening, these two films balance nicely together in a dark, cold room.  Pair Yojimbo with A Fistful of Dollars if you're into cultural dialogue.
