About this product

Product Information

Akira Kurosawa's highly acclaimed film, set in feudal Japan, presents an intriguing tale of violent crime in the woods, told from the perspective of four different characters--a bandit (Toshir� Mifune), a woman (Machiko Ky�), her husband (Masayuki Mori), and a woodcutter (Takashi Shimura). Only two things about the incident seem to be clear--the woman was raped and her husband is now dead. However, the other elements radically differ as the four participants and/or witnesses relate their own stories (with the dead man, eerily enough, speaking through a medium). As each account is revealed, what seemed black and white turns to various hues of gray, leading to surprising--and confounding--relevations.A landmark of international cinema, RASHOMON won the prestigious Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival in 1951, bringing both Kurosawa--and Japanese film in general--to the attention of Western audiences. From the rain-soaked opening sequence to its moving conclusion, the film is a stunning examination of truth and human nature. The entire cast is pitch-perfect, with regular Kurosawa lead actors Mifune and Shimura giving typically outstanding performances. While critics and cinephiles debate over exactly how many masterpieces Kurosawa directed, RASHOMON stands as one of the revered filmmaker's indisputably brilliant motion pictures. In fact, the film's influence is so pervasive that it has inspired everything from a high profile Hollywood remake (THE OUTRAGE starring Paul Newman) to numerous tributes in movies such as COURAGE UNDER FIRE and THE USUAL SUSPECTS.

    Classic cinema

    I had not heard of this film until recently though it is a classic. Flashbacks are used to tell the story of the various characters and, in so doing, examine the nature of truth. As we see the four different views of the same event played out, we are asked to consider the question of what is the truth. This is an entertaining film for the casual viewer but an absolute must see for anyone who wants an understanding of the progression of film as an art form.

    A perfect film in every way possible.

    A stunning breakthrough in Japanese cinema, Akira Kurosawa’s RASHOMON is a film like no other and nearly six decades later, it still remains strikingly fresh and original. In 11th-century Japan, four witnesses (Toshiro Mifune, Machiko Kyo, Fumiko Honma & Takashi Shimura) narrate different versions of the story of a man’s murder and the rape of his wife. Each story is told so thoroughly flawless that you might ask several questions: Which character is lying? And which character is telling the truth? However, you might need to figure those answers out for yourself. Acknowledging the innovative cinematography from Kazuo Miyagawa, Kurosawa conveys his meticulous attention to detail and stylized compositions into a film that would break cinematic conventions. Nevertheless, RASHOMON is a ...

    Truth & Illusion

    If you have never seen this film, you will come to it and find it very familiar. That's because Rashomon has become part of the world's consciousness & lexicon. It's story of an action involving several participants, each with their own differing version of the truth, has been elaborated and riffed-on by many others since it appeared on the world's stage in the 50's. So, it is an old movie, often imitated. And yet, I found it fresh and involving and well worth a look. As Robert Altman says on the DVD extras, many of the camera techniques, particularly shooting directly at the sun and allowing lens flare, were taboo-breaking and radically new when this film appeared. Now, that is put in as a joke in Shrek. So you come to Rashomon not to be overwhelmed with its "newness" and the refreshing ...

    Rashomon

    What I believe makes Akira Kurosawa's films so appealing to American audiences is his culturally western approach. Unlike other Japanese directors he was aware of foreign audience tastes and aimed at creating borderless stories that all could enjoy. "Rashomon" exemplifies this approach. With many narrators and unreliable tales he creates mystery characteristics that we Americans can identify with. He was like an exotic version of Hitchcock by manipulating the audiences emotions and confusing us as to which character we should trust. A great tale and a true classic. Highly recommend it!!!

    This is a must have film

    I viewed this film in my Art class a year ago, it was very recommended from our instructor. This movie created a new word to world-wide vocabulary "Rashomon", meaning "the same story told from different people, with their own perspective". As far as I have heard it is a term commonly used in courts. Great film, for it's age it is surprisingly something different, intriguing and clearly out of ordinary. Few films such as this one have been created since then. Very recommended.
