MFAH Films celebrated the centennial of Japanese Master Akira Kurosawa with films at the museum and this free screening of his most famous film, Rashomon, (1951, 88 min. NR, Subtitled) at the park. This masterpiece is a mystery: the story of a murder told from the different perspectives of four witnesses.

Brimming with action while incisively examining the nature of truth, Rashomon is perhaps the finest film ever to investigate the philosophy of justice. Through an ingenious use of camera and flashbacks, Kurosawa reveals the complexities of human nature as four people recount different versions of the story of a man’s murder and the rape of his wife.

Toshiro Mifune gives another commanding performance in the eloquent masterwork that revolutionized film language and introduced Japanese cinema to the world.
