🐾 Arya's Approval

This film absolutely changed everything I thought I knew about storytelling. Kurosawa created something that shows how the same event can be completely different depending on who's telling the story, and that's both fascinating and deeply unsettling when you really think about it.

Toshirô Mifune's performance is absolutely extraordinary - he brings such intensity and complexity to his role that you're never quite sure what to believe about his character. The way Kurosawa presents multiple versions of the same crime forces you to question everything about truth, memory, and human nature.

What makes this film so powerful is how it explores the idea that we all see events through our own perspectives, shaped by our motivations and fears. It's uncomfortable because it makes you realise how unreliable our own perceptions can be, and how easily truth can become distorted.

This special edition is perfect for understanding why Rashomon is considered one of the greatest films ever made. The restored visuals show every detail of Kurosawa's masterful cinematography, and the booklet provides essential context for appreciating this groundbreaking achievement in cinema history.
