Rashômon
Tonight, May and I watched Rashômon [IMDB], one of Akira Kurosawa’s best movies. It was the second installment of our Kurosawa cycle, which started two weeks ago with Shichinin no samurai [IMDB]. Both movies feature Toshirô Mifune, Kurosawa’s favorite actor, but Rashômon is a more contemplative piece, investigating the human condition through the eyes of witnesses to a crime narrated in contradictory ways by four different people. The movie is an absolute masterpiece, and the commentary by Robert Altman definitely worth the watch.
