Kurosawa Centennial: Rashomon  

Presented by The Colonial Theatre at The Colonial Theatre

September 5, 2010


Directed by Akira Kurosawa. Japan. 1950. Running time: 88 min. New restoration and new 35mm print!


One of the most influential films ever made, the idea was taken from Ryunosuke Akutagawa’s story "In the Grove.” A rape and a murder are committed in a wooded area near the Rashomon gate, but four different versions of the incident from four different witnesses emerge at the trial. Whose version is true? And, what is truth? This film launched Kurosawa's international career and Toshiro Mifune's along with it. It's said that this film was the reason the Academy Awards created the Best Foreign Film category, and it was in fact awarded an honorary Oscar in 1952 because the category did not yet exist.
