Rashomon (1950)
Directed by Akira
Kurosawa this film based on the two short stories stars Toshiro
Mifune. Four people relate different stories about a rape and murder
that took place three days before in the woods.
This film has a big
reputation as does a really good job at looking at the nature of
humanity and our willingness to lie for ego/image. The direction does
a good job of minimalising the “clutter” round the story and
making symbolic use of light. What really happened is less important
in this film rather than the way it looks at human nature which it
does very well.
5/5
