In the telling of the tale, however, each of the four participants gives a different view of what actually happened is anyone telling the truth? Kurosawa's masterly and influential film plays on the subjective nature of truth while unfurling a riveting tale of violence and greed.The first film to alert Western audiences to the riches of Japanese cinema, Rashômon was remade in Hollywood as The Outrage starring Paul Newman, and is credited as a key influence on Bryan Singer's The Usual SuspectsSpecial features: Newly restored in High DefinitionNew audio commentary by Kurosawa expert Stuart Galbraith IVRashômon at 65 (Stuart Galbraith IV, 2015, 34 mins): documentary visiting some of Rashômon's key locations, featuring interviews with former staff from Daiei-Kyoto StudiosJohn Boorman on Rashômon (6 mins) 2010 BFI theatrical reissue trailerIllustrated booklet with a new essay by Stuart Galbraith IV and full creditsJapan | 1950 | black & white | Japanese language with English subtitles | 88 minutes | Original aspect ratio 1.33:1 | BD50 | 24fps | PCM mono audio (48k/24-bit) | Cert 12 (contains moderate violence and sex references) | Region B Blu-ray Review: This is an outstanding film - Why I have put of buying this until now ? So glad I have got this film it's amazing to watch. The picture and sound quality is perfect, it's been remarkably restored in high definition. The film plot and execution by Akira Kurosawa is awesome, the camera angles and depth of fields in the filming is something you will need to watch to appreciate how good it is for a film made in 1950. Review: rashomon, worth the wait - For many years I delayed getting a copy of this seminal film. Well good things come to those who wait. It is fabulous and unique and clearly as an early Kurosawa film displays the vision for camera angles, humour and seriousness of his palette. Mifuno is superb and plays his role of the bandit chief to the hilt. he reprises aspects of this caracter more than you would think for Seven Samurai, a very different film The film combines two Japanese short stories by Akutagawa, but you can read it in the extended booklet on this inside, this edition gives you the "in the grove" story itself. The other story about the Rashomon gate was so heavily adapted so does not bear inclusion here, although it is a good one in its own right. The graphic ending says all there is to be said about killing. men come out of this film badly, women are no better. men are weak and driven by emotions, women are stronger and more intelligent but capable of more deliberate and vengeful cruelty. I am slowly getting hold of all Kurosawa's film. Each is a revelation. This is a short film and easily demonstrates how the great man began ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00T05OAQ6 | | Actors | Machiko Kyô, Masayuki Mori, Minoru Chiaki, Takashi Shimura, Toshirô Mifune | | Aspect Ratio | 4:3 - 1.33:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | 10,327 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 290 in World Cinema (DVD & Blu-ray) 353 in Historical (DVD & Blu-ray) 1,034 in Crime (DVD & Blu-ray) | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (716) | | Director | Akira Kurosawa | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Language | Japanese (Dolby Digital 2.0) | | Manufacturer reference | 5035673012062 | | Media Format | PAL | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 20 x 10 x 5 cm; 110 g | | Release date | 17 April 2019 | | Run time | 1 hour and 28 minutes | | Studio | Bfi | | Subtitles: | English | ## Images ![Rashomon [1950] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81qYkxeor3L.jpg) ![Rashomon [1950] - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81RkYIWoR5L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is an outstanding film *by J***D on 3 January 2024* Why I have put of buying this until now ?
