Director: Akira Kurosawa
Innovative, experimental and brilliantly constrcuted, Rashomon is one of world cinema's truly great works, questioning the notions of truth and morality with its multiple perspective, a film that put Kurosawa and Japanese cinema on the international map
...reveals Kurosawa's own influence, especially on the filmmakers behind the recent rash of Japanese horror.
Kurosawa is always worth a look but this is a particular classic that has influenced so much to come, it's almost essential.
Top Critic It does nothing less than demolishing everything its characters -- and some of its audience -- believed in.
Its virtues are still plentiful: Kurosawa's visual style at its most muscular, rhythmically nuanced editing, and excellent performances.
I suspect that most people who come to Japanese cinema first enter it through Kurosawa.
An ultimate classic that changed how films were told forever. By telling the story from each character's point of view, "Rashamon" explored how narrative can be biased, and how one person's story is never the whole tale. I highly recommend this film.
Copiado à exaustão por cineastas de todo o mundo, Rashomon é inigualável - não apenas por sua estrutura, mas por sua bela análise sobre a natureza humana.
It’s not often that a movie title enters the common vernacular, but these days when we describe something as Rashomon-like we are referring to this movie’s presentation of multiple versions of the truth.
Much of the power of the picture -- and it unquestionably has hypnotic power -- derives from the brilliance with which the camera of director Akira Kurosawa has been used.
