He argues that the &#8220;film doesn&#8217;t hold up as well as other Kurosawa works because its &#8216;there is no such thing as Absolute Truth&#8217; theme isn&#8217;t particularly novel.&#8221; He further complains that the performances (with the exception of Mifune, who he believes &#8220;makes a strong impression&#8221;) are &#8220;either irritating or forgettable&#8221;; that the &#8220;playing of &#8216;Bolero&#8217; at one point seems inappropriate&#8221;; and that the opening and concluding sequences (which &#8220;were inserted into [the] script so the picture would be long enough to interest a distributor&#8221;) are &#8220;disconcerting&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>I disagree with Peary on nearly all the above points. The film&#8217;s central premise &#8212; that truth is subjective enough that we all approach the telling of a tale with our unique biases and subconscious desires firmly in play &#8212; is universal, and so masterfully portrayed by Kurosawa that it serves as an enduring primer for how to relate such a story in cinematic terms. To that end, Peary does concede that &#8220;it shouldn&#8217;t be forgotten that Kurosawa broke the rules of cinema storytelling&#8221;; along with many other critics (see links below), he notes that &#8220;it is less important that any four people will tell four different versions of a story than that any <em>filmmaker<\/em> is capable of taking a story and visualizing it in an infinite number of equally persuasive, audience-manipulative ways&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>With regards to the film&#8217;s &#8220;bookends&#8221;, they come across as simply a convenient and effective narrative device; and the inclusion of &#8220;Bolero&#8221; (actually, a variation thereof) in the soundtrack doesn&#8217;t strike me as particularly jarring. Finally, in terms of the film&#8217;s central performances, I&#8217;m actually less a fan of Mifune&#8217;s primal bandit (as noted in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.timeout.com\/film\/reviews\/76426\/rashomon.html\">Time Out London&#8217;s review<\/a>, he &#8220;veers on the hammy side of earthy&#8221;) than I am of both Kyo as the samurai&#8217;s wife (watch how her expressions and overall demeanor shift from vignette to vignette), and Mori as the samurai himself (though he&#8217;s not given much to do, he effectively projects an unnerving, steely reserve). Even more memorable than the actors, however, are Kurosawa&#8217;s stunning, haunting visuals &#8212; as usual, every frame of his story is composed with craft and care. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fine performances by the principal actors<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/rashomon-wife.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/rashomon-wife.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11571\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/rashomon-performances.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/rashomon-performances.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11570\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Memorable imagery and cinematography<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/rashomon-framing.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/rashomon-framing.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11568\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/rashomon-imagery.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/rashomon-imagery.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11569\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nYes, as an historically important foreign classic by a master director.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Categories<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Foreign Gem<\/li>\n<li>Historically Relevant<\/li>\n<li>Important Director<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> (<span style=\"color:red;font-weight:bold;\">Listed in <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-static\/1001Movies.htm\"><em>1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die<\/em><\/a><\/span>) <\/p>\n<p><strong>Links: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0042876\/\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1951\/12\/27\/archives\/the-screen-in-review-intriguing-japanese-picture-rashomon-first.html\">NY Times Original Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.moriareviews.com\/fantasy\/rashomon-1950.htm\">Moria Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dvdtalk.com\/dvdsavant\/s450rash.html\">DVD Talk Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/content\/article\/2009\/11\/12\/AR2009111207944.html\">Washington Post Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tcm.com\/tcmdb\/title\/303984\/rashomon#articles-reviews?articleId=136021\">TCM Article<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.timeout.com\/film\/reviews\/76426\/rashomon.html\">Time Out Capsule Review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s human to lie.
