Review of Rashomon (1950) by Sally A — 12 May 2009
I liked this film a lot. this is considered one of kurosawas 5 greatest films, and I wouldnt even put it in my top 8 of his, but it was still very good. I think most respect this film so much because it was the film that catapulted kurosawa to stardom, and I can see how.
mifune and shimura were great as always and the story was very compelling. ultimately, its a story about liars and thieves and the reality that most people in this world are not to be trusted. the last fight scene was weak, but most of this film was great.
more brilliance from akira kurosawa.
