About
Rashômon

"This time, i may finally lose my faith in the human soul." A distinct progression from his past work in every way. Kurosawa worked little with flashback until '50. A portraiture style in-story story-telling opened up a whole new realm stylistically. Revolutionary cinematography. Mifune is ravagely brilliant. If it werent for the cut-style progression, this would be amongst the best. Hysteric, engaging & refined.
