Just saw "Rashomon" for the first time

[lazarus]

The Criterion edition on DVD, directed by Kurosawa, starring the incomparable Toshiro Mifune, one of the finest actors of all time.


Wow.


Wow.


And again.


That is a film that changes one's perspective on film and reality. The direction, the cinematography, acting, scripting, everything, just flawless.

I still don't know who was telling the truth, and doubt I ever will.

Opinions, from fellow Kurosawa/Mifune fans?

1. wonderful film

Great athletic performance by Mifune, and that part where the medium channels the dead guy, her hair rustling in a non-existent breeze, gives me the chills.

2. yeah, and that voice

That voice is still freaking me out.

Mifune is just a god, isn't he? I can't get over how good an actor he is.

3. Rashomon kicks ass

He really stepped up when Duncan missed those 12 games with a bum knee.

;)

4. And I loved it

When he kept it up when Timmy came back.

Oh, wait...
