Rashomon
CJS's Fall 2010 Film Series ~ "Reviewing Kurosawa"
1950 / 88 min. / 35mm / In Japanese with English subtitles.
By winning first prize at the 1951 Venice Film Festival, Rashomon signaled the arrival of Japanese film in the West. A revisionist take on the samurai genre, of which Kurosawa was a master, this film destabilizes truth by allowing four people to retell their versions of the murder of a man and the rape of his wife.
