I Just Don?t Understand

Date of Review:  May 19, 2008
The Bottom Line: Rashomon is a classic, confusing character study, and slightly over-rated.
Review: Famed Japanese director Akira Kurosawa's 1950 black and white film Rashomon could easily be made into a stage play, despite the fact that the repeated flashbacks on which the movie relies so heavily would probably have to be omitted for the sake of...

Seeing is NOT believing!

Date of Review:  Jan 5, 2005
The Bottom Line: Don't miss it!
Review: The year was 1951. The jury at the Venice International Film Festival sat down to watch an entry from Japan. The movie was called Rashomon, directed by a not-so-prominent director called Akira Kurosawa. 88 minutes later, when the movie ended, they...

Subjective Bias and Spin Do NOT Preclude Reconstructing Objective Truth

Date of Review:  Apr 18, 2004
The Bottom Line: Recommended for its historical importance in introducing the notion of conflicting subjective perspectives
Review: Akiri Kurosawa's film Rashômon (1950) was his first to generate international attention, winning the 1951 Academy Award for Best Foreign Film as well as the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. Its historical significance is indisputable. It...

Exploring the trustworthy nature of The Truth

Date of Review:  Sep 27, 2003
The Bottom Line: Cynical and thought provoking film, on a bad disk.
Review: Compared to the other Kurosawa films that I've seen Rashomon is a surprisingly cynical movie. It's a story that features 4 people who each witnessed the same event, and yet each character gives a very different account of what happened. Throughout...

Can You Believe Your Eyes? Rashomon

Date of Review:  Jan 30, 2007
The Bottom Line: Akira Kurosawa's Rashomon asks whether we can ever truly know the truth and remains a highly regarded film to this day.
Review: Rashomon (1950)

Akira Kurosawa is probably the most well-known Japanese film director outside of Japan. Active from the 1940s through the 1980s, he did his best work during the 50s and 60s, with Rashomon arguably his best work.

Rashomon- Epic Film Making

Date of Review:  Feb 25, 2000
Review: Rashomon may be Akira Kurosawa's best work. The film's style, told in flashback, has been duplicated by many film makers, but never done with the same power and emotion the way Kurosawa does it. I am not surprised that Rashomon won the Golden Lion...

'Rashomon' Is A Truly Unique Film

Date of Review:  Feb 5, 2000
Review: As usual, when the weekend rolls around and I'm in the mood to see a movie (which is quite often) and there's nothing which looks good in the theatres (which is also quite often...as of late) I try to fill in some of the more noticeable gaps in my...

Akira Kurosawa';s -RASHOMON-1950 (Lost in the Woods)

Date of Review:  Aug 6, 2002
The Bottom Line: This classic Japanese movie is one that everyone must see, at least once. It is an Akira Kurosawa classic!
Review: Rashomon was a ground breaking film for Akira Kurosawa, and is even today one of the more interesting films you could view. Recently (March 2002) released in DVD in the Criterion Collection, it would make a terrific addition to any serious classic...

Date of Review:  Nov 11, 2004
The Bottom Line: Rashomon is a superb example of classic cinema, and if you aren't put off by subtitles and black and white, you really should be seeing it.
Review: Contrary to what my list of movie reviews on this site, and the general feeling about me and films by all who know me, I actually do watch 'proper' films amongst my spades of straight to video martial arts nonsense and horror garbage. Indeed, I...

Akira Kurosawa? AKIRA KUROSAWA!

Date of Review:  Feb 1, 2001
The Bottom Line: Rashomon holds a unique place in film history. It is one of Akira Kurosawa's best works. George Lucas, and Francis Ford Copolla cite Kurosawa with their inspiration.
Review: This is an excerpt from an essay I wrote about Rashomon, I hope you find it usefull.

Akira Kurosawa?s film Rashomon blends a number of film styles throughout. Each character?s story is accentuated with its distinctive camera movements, and...
