Rashomon (1950)

One crime. Four versions of the truth. Rashomon (1950) was director Akira Kurosawa's international breakthrough film, and for good reason. A highly influential film that created a new narrative structure that is still borrowed and celebrated in film's we see today. This is the dawn of the unreliable narrator and completely re-imagined how filmmakers approach flashbacks. While the influence in undeniable, is the film any good? And does is stand the test of time? Jason Furie and Adam Roth attempt to dissect this one. We tried.
