Seven Samurai

Akira Kurosawa’s RASHOMON
(1950, 88 min)
A riveting psychological thriller, “Rashomon” is widely considered one of the greatest films ever made. Four people give different accounts of a man’s murder and the rape of his wife, which director Akira Kurosawa presents with striking imagery and an ingenious use of flashbacks. This eloquent masterwork and revolutionized film language and introduced Japanese cinema to the Western world.
