Cabaret Cinema: Rashômon

1950, Japan, Akira Kurosawa, 88 min.

Director Akira Kurosawa masterfully laces three different perspectives on the story of the murder of a Samurai warrior.

Three men are forced to take refuge from the rain in the shell of a former gatehouse called Rashômon. After one of the men admits he knows more about the murder than he originally let on, Rashômon becomes a space of revelations and changes in perception.

This movie is often cited as the reason why the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences created the “Best Foreign Film” category.
