One of Tatsuya Nakadai's earliest roles was a super brief appearance in 1954'sSeven Samurai, directed by the great Akira Kurosawa, where Nakadai can be seen for little more than a second as an unnamed samurai walking through a town. It's technically one of the best movies he's featured in, but it being an uncredited role doesn't make it a true perf...
While the U.S. remake, Hachi: A Dog's Tale (2009), is likely more well-known among English speakers, the original from 1987, Hachiko, is even better. Both films tell a notoriously sad storyinvolving a man who owned a dog so loyal that even after his sudden death, the dog continued to visit the train station the man went to every morning for almost ...
Science-fiction movies rarely get more troubling or thought-provoking than The Face of Another, which looks at identity, human nature, and the way people can and can't conform. Tatsuya Nakadai plays a businessman who obtains a hyperrealistic mask to cover up his disfigured face, only for his new mask to slowly alter his personality. It's a very tri...
Yojimbo may star Toshiro Mifune and rank as one of his best movies, but that doesn't mean it's not also a great Tatsuya Nakadai movie, seeing as he played a fantastic antagonist here. They're two of the biggest Japanese actors of all time and appeared in numerous movies together, with the results proving frequently captivating. RELATED: Every Akira...
Ranking as one of the best horror movies of all time, Kwaidan runs for three hours and is technically an anthology movie made up of four different stories, all adapting an old Japanese folk tale. That does mean Tatsuya Nakadai only features in about a quarter of the movie, but he still leaves a considerable impact. That one of the four stories is r...
A violent, bold, and oftentimes very jarring samurai movie that isn't afraid to go to some seriously dark places, The Sword of Doomessentially asks what would happen if a skilled swordsman had no sense of morality and killed indiscriminately. The film answers such a question in gory detail, with a main character constantly becoming more filled with...
Between 1959 and 1961, Tatsuya Nakadai starred in three war epics that comprise The Human Condition trilogy, with the role of Kaji - a pacifist turned soldier turned survivalist during World War II - being the one that made Nakadai a star. In total, The Human Condition runs for over nine hours and stands as one of the best war movies of all time, a...
Ran ranks among the greatest of all Shakespeare film adaptations, with it taking the story of King Learand setting it in 16th-century Japan. It follows an aging patriarch needing to divide his kingdom among his three sons, only for bitter fighting among the family to throw his plans into chaos, and set off a string of bloody (and tragic) battles. I...
High and Low certainly isn't a low-rated Akira Kurosawa film. In fact, it's one of his highest-rated, and easily the great director's best crime movie (he did several), with its plot revolving around a wealthy man being extorted after the son of his chauffeur is kidnapped and held for ransom. Toshiro Mifune plays the wealthy man being extorted, and...
Masaki Kobayashi directed Tatsuya Nakadai in the aforementioned Kwaidan and The Human Condition trilogy (among others), but their greatest collaboration would have to be Harakiri. This film represents the samurai genre at its best, being a slow-paced yet engrossing drama that explores revenge and the inherent flaws present in the samurai way of lif...
