Episode 47 – Rashomon
from A Reel Education
Our exploration of the unreliable narrator brings us to the film that is, quite literally, all about unreliable narration. Rashomon is the film that introduced the world to Akira Kurosawa and is easily one of the most influential films ever made. It is also ever so much shorter than The Seven Samurai. So that’s a bonus. Enjoy the special musical interlude Tim selected because he couldn’t find an mp3 of the music online. Our next episode will be recorded live at the Trylon theater. We’ll be watching The Lady from Shanghai!
