Yojimbo The Bodyguard

I want step up my intake of spaghetti westerns, so I started with Akira Kurosawa’s Yojimbo from 1961. Ha! It is heavily influenced by US westerns and the music by Masaru Sato is not period music, but big band orchestra with (obviously) Japanese accents. Great film, but I need to understand more what “distension” means in film technique.
