About the Event
Brimming with action while incisively examining the nature of truth, Akira Kurosawa’s "Rashomon" is perhaps the finest film ever to investigate the philosophy of justice. Through an ingenious use of camera and flashbacks, Kurosawa reveals the complexities of human nature as four people recount different versions of the story of a man's murder and the assault of his wife.
