Rashomon is a seminal classic from legendary director kurosawa. It tells the same story of a rape and murder from several viewpoints, showing the subjectivity of truth - an incredibly bold and original move for its time.
This review is for the long overdue special edition which contains:
Documentary featuring original crew as well as the original screen writer and composer
Introduction from john boorman
Booklet containing the original stories that inspired the film
An extract from the very interesting 'the emperor and the wolf' book
About kurosawa and mifune's relationship and career together
Trailer
These extras in particular the discussions between the crew are fascinating and informative.
Overall a fantastic package for this classic film's first special edition in the uk!
