Review of Rashomon (1950) by Fong K — 13 Sep 2017
Akira Kurosawa's Rashomon is his masterpiece about subjectivity. It is about a rape, a death, and several accounts of how they came about. How did the victim die? Who is lying? Does anyone tell the truth? How do we assess credibility? What does truthfulness tell us about human nature? Is there any cause for optimism about humanity? Kurosawa artfully raised these questions and allows the viewer to come to the viewer's own conclusions.
Rashomon repays viewing again and again.
