Run time: 1 hr 24 min 7 sec
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. Toshiro Mifune gives another commanding performance in the eloquent masterwork that revolutionized film language and introduced Japanese cinema to the world. Amazon.com Product Description
Akira Kurosawa (1910-1998) studied at the Doshusha School of Western Painting, hoping to make a living as a painter. Unable to earn much money, he answered a newspaper ad for assistant directors at P.C.L. Studios. According to his mentor, Kajiro Yamamoto, "From the very beginning, Kurosawa was completely engrossed in separating what is real from what is false."
