Synopsis "The definitive cinematic treatment of point of view." -Premiere Brimming with action while incisively examining the nature of truth, Rashomon is perhaps the finest film ever to challenge perceptions of reality and 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.

Empire Review RASHOMON - 3 out of 5  (5/17/2002) RASHOMON (1950) solidified the fact that a great new cinema has risen from the ashes and defeat of Militarist Japan and after over half of a decade, the film that put director Akira Kurosawa on the map holds up well. The fact that it takes place back in the 11th Century (or thereabouts) does not hurt. This is the film that also helped make Toshiro Mifune an international star, bridged the gap between Orson Welles' CITIZEN KANE (1941) and the various New Wave (especially French) movemen   more >> Customer Review This is an execellent movie. - 5 out of 5  (8/9/2002) This is an execellent movie.   more >>
