Brand-new Restored 35mm Print! - Brimming with action while incisively examining the nature of truth, Rashomon is perhaps the finest film ever to investigate the philosophy of justice. Through an ingenious use of camera and flashbacks, Kurosawa reveals the complexities of human nature as four people recount different versions of the story of a man’s murder and the rape of his wife. Toshiro Mifune gives a commanding performance as a bandit in the eloquent masterwork that revolutionized film language and introduced Japanese cinema to the world.
