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
FF Day 17: Friends Favorite #34: Rashomon courtesy of Klyph. Was a little surprised to see this on the list, not because it’s not great, but interesting choice from Kurosawa. No problem rewatching this. I think I enjoyed more this time.
