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.

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...

Criterion's superb edition of Kurosawa's legendary 1950 film

Date of Review:  Jul 28, 2007
The Bottom Line: Cinema at its finest
Review: "Rashômon," the 1950 adaptation of two stories by Akutagawa Ryunosuke (1892-1927) was the first Japanese film that I ever saw--two decades after putting Japan on the world cinema map at the 1951 Venice Film Festival, where it won not only the Golden...

Rashomon (1950): A Benchmark Cinematic Experience

Date of Review:  Feb 27, 2009
The Bottom Line:

Essential Viewing: Rashomon is a cinematic classic with benchmark storytelling and camera work.

Review: Japanese director, Akira Kurosawa sent us some great movies in the middle of the 20th Century (Seven Samurai, Ikiru, Throne of Blood, Yojimbo, Ran). But it was Rashômon in 1950 which was recognized as his breakthrough, winning the Golden Lion Award...

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...

Kurosawa Tackles Truth: Rashomon

Date of Review:  Oct 1, 2003
The Bottom Line: One of the finest examples of classic Japanese cinema. Rashomon is essential viewing for anyone interested in film.
Review: The common misconception about Akira Kurosawa's 1950 film Rashomon is that it's a film concerned about ultimate truth and just how fleeting the truth can really be. Kurosawa does certainly make that part of the theme in Rashomon, but to see it so...

Can't See The Forest For The Trees: Kurosawa's Rashomon

Date of Review:  Nov 2, 2002
The Bottom Line: One of the grandest Kurosawa/Mifune collaborations lives up to its hype.
Review: I've referred to writer/director Akira Kurosawa's "Rashomon" many times since I started reviewing, mostly in a literary sense. I once wrote that Matthew Kneale's book "English Passengers", "had a kind of hyper-'Rashomon' quality" to its narrative...

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...

Stale Incense Old Sweat & Lies, Lies, Lies... It's Come Down to This

Date of Review:  Nov 5, 2007
The Bottom Line: Rashomon is an Eerie, Provocative Masterpiece from Akira Kurosawa & Co.
Review: One of the premier and beloved directors of Japanese cinema, there was no one bigger than Akira Kurosawa. While many of his films were in the genre of the samurai movies, Kurosawa often creates unconventional stories and morals into the stories...

Dostoevskian Elements in Rashomon

Review: (Note: This is another essay originally written for my Japanese 106 Cinema class from the winter of 1999. It reveals few plot details, so if you haven't seen the movie, I might recommend renting it or reading some other reviews to orient yourself. I...
