RASHOMONStarts Fri, Apr 23  Akira Kurosawa Centennial 1910 - 2010 NEW 35MM PRINT! ONE WEEK RUN ONLY! Senior Matinee presentation - Wed, Apr 28 @ 2:45pm in the main house! Brimming with action while incisively examining the nature of truth, Rashomon is perhaps the finest film ever made about 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 same story: the murder of a man and the rape of his wife. Starring Toshiro Mifune in another commanding performance, Rashomon revolutionized film language and introduced Japanese cinema to the world. Janus Films is proud to present this landmark work in a new, definitive 35mm restoration. Akira Kurosawa, w/ Toshiro Mifune 1h28m
