Rashomon (1950)
Directed by Akira Kurosawa
Twitter Facebook Google+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.

Viewing Notes
Happy to finally own this. Mifune is great as is Shimura but the real star is Machiko Kyo. She’s putting on a clinic here and it’s amazing to watch.
