Rashomon - 2K restoration
SUN 1 DEC
Coming Soon to
Lumiere Cinemas
A riveting psychological thriller that investigates the nature of truth and the meaning of justice, RASHOMON is widely considered one of the greatest films ever made.
Four people give different accounts of a man’s murder and the rape of his wife, which director Akira Kurosawa presents with striking imagery and an ingenious use of flashbacks. This eloquent masterwork and international sensation revolutionized film language and introduced Japanese cinema—and a commanding new star by the name of Toshiro Mifune—to the Western world.
Winner of the Golden Lion at the 1951 Venice Film Festival and recipient of an honorary Academy Award (which would later become the prize for Best Foreign Language Film), RASHOMON helped introduce Japanese cinema to a western audience and heralded Kurosawa as a revolutionary new voice in the medium.

"Akira Kurosawa's 1950 masterwork is a chilling, utterly memorable dissection of the nature of human communication...." The Guardian
“A film that single-handedly changed the way we perceive storytelling, its relationship with the visual medium and the narrative language of cinema itself. This is where the movies’ long love affair with the grammar of time started....” Rahul Desai
