Rashomon (Sight and Sound #26)

In which we learn how to read. And we don't like it.

"A film that demonstrates that how you tell your story is just as important as what the story entails."

Matt Neal of ABC Radio Australia taps into exactly what makes Rashomon truly great. Sure, many films have cribbed from this style, but none have reached the heights of Akira Kurosawa.

But listen in to our discussion, because we talk not only about Rashomon and the Rashomon Effect; but also about the performances, and the outright cynicism of a beloved classic.
