Rashomon (1950)
羅生門
8.8 (1152 ratings) director: Akira Kurosawa actor: Toshirō Mifune / Machiko Kyō
other title: 라쇼몽 / 羅生門
Brimming with action while incisively examining the nature of truth, "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 rape of his wife.

当年为了这部片子特地买来DVD,家里却放不了。之后一直没心情看。真的妙啊,旁白+破败之家有一种去年在马里昂巴德之感;更妙的是卡司,一种元映射,谁知演员在演谁,真正默片时代的大牌们,甚至是有过合作的名导名角;最后10分种口碑两极,一团白雾后进入到对名气极致的渴望,对摄像机的彻底异化,stroheim站在导演位置就足够震撼,和结尾名场面更起鸡皮疙瘩;50年代的编剧们拯救不了过气明星,只是因为其被锁定在的默片时代,似乎是一种结界了
