Rashomon (1950)
SUNRISE CINEMA 8/9: Kurosawa Fest comes to The Onyx and The Onyx Downtown this summer, as we pay tribute to legendary director Akira Kurosawa with new restorations of some of his most celebrated epics! A riveting psychological thriller that investigates the nature of truth and the meaning of justice, RASHOMON is widely considered one of the greatest films ever made. Four people give different accounts of a man’s murder and the rape of his wife, which Kurosawa presents with striking imagery and an ingenious use of flashbacks. This eloquent masterwork and international sensation revolutionized film language and introduced Japanese cinema—and a commanding new star by the name of Toshiro Mifune—to the Western world. In Japanese w/ English subtitles.
