Rashōmon at Glasgow Film Theatre

6 – 12 January, 2023

GFT, 12 Rose Street, Glasgow G3 6RB

The truth is in the eye of the beholder in Rashōmon, a landmark work from Akira Kurosawa. What really happened at the storm-tossed Rashômon Gate? We know that a man died and a woman was raped but where does the guilt lie and how can justice be served? Toshirô Mifune’s vicious bandit Tajômaru claims the killing resulted from a fair fight and the woman welcomed his attention. Others offer different, contradictory accounts of the events. A gripping piece of storytelling whose groundbreaking use of multiple perspectives continues to influence filmmakers today.

Winner of the top prize at the 1951 Venice Film Festival and an Honorary Academy Award the same year, we welcome Rashōmon back to the big screen as part of a BFI celebration of Kurosawa.
