Overview

Brimming with action while incisively examining the nature of truth, “Rashomon” is perhaps the finest film ever to investigate the philosophy of justice. Through an ingenious use of camera and flashbacks, Kurosawa reveals the complexities of human nature as four people recount different versions of the story of a man’s murder and the rape of his wife.

Rated NR | Length 88 minutes

Viewing Notes

Thanks to Rupert’s (@bobfreelander) tweet about the restored Rashomon print getting featured at the Kurosawa Festival at Stanford Theatre, I was able to finally see this amazing film on the big screen. So great to see. Beautiful print too. Best it’s ever looked.

Really envious of the Stanford students in attendance seeing Rashomon (1950) for the first time in that environment. Wish I was gonna be around to see all the Kurosawa films like this.
