Brian Trenchard-Smith on Rashomon
Фильм және анимация
Rasho-mon is the name of the gate to the city of Kyoto, the medieval setting of the film that brought director Akira Kuroswa to international recognition. Despite daily battles with his unsympathetic studio backers, he produced a worldwide hit that rejuvenated Japanese cinema on the world stage, although it was less appreciated domestically. The concept of the unreliable narrator as it relates to the real nature of truth was not appreciated by Kurosawa's peers, nor was his introduction of multi-camera coverage.

Another excellent TFH, thanks.
I finally got the chance to watch Kurosawa's Red Beard. I was prepared to be dead bored. It is an episodic story of Mifune as the head doctor of a clinic for the poor and a new doctor who has arrived and resents be sent there. Clocking in at over two and half hours it seemed predistined to send me to sleep but it was absolutely amazing. They save a young girl from a sadistic madam and a probable life of prostition. She in turn becomes involved with a young boy stealing food is heartbreaking.
This was an excellent video! I've been looking for good video content that'd help movie fans appreciate classics.
A great film from the great Kurosawa after breaking out in the film Drunken Angel. Other great Kurosawa's masterpieces include Seven Samurai, Throne of Blood, The Hidden Fortress, Yojimbo, Sanjuro, Red Beard, Kagemusha and the memorable Ran. This is a definite film to watch.
Easy to compare that producer Mr Trenchard-Smith talks about with the suit-guy taking credit for Takashi Shimura's idea in Ikiru, (like all suits...)
Thanks for the history lesson Brian! I need to watch this movie again.
A true masterpiece. Kurosawa is high on the list of cinema artists. I recently watched Red Beard, a film I had been dragging my feet a very long time to watch. A nearly three hour film about a doctor in a nineteeth century medical clinic for the poor? The theme did not spark my curiousity, but when I finally watched the film it was far from being dull at all. Yes, it is not a samurai film and the action is minimal but the performance by Mifune as the head of the clinic is quietly stunning as he breaks in a new doctor who feels working under these conditions are beneath him ut is eventually shown how important they are to the community. They save a young girl fom a life prostituion who in turn becomes involves in a young boy caught stealing food from the clinic for his own starving family and leads to a scene that cannot fail to provoke tears It is a magnificent film. It has no real plot but just shows the lives of these characters. I don't think many directors could pull this off and come off as either preachy or boring. In the delicate hands of a master filmmaker like Kurosawa it is great
I saw that film in class today. This film is just the evidence of what true brilliance. It was really good.
