From the stories of Ryunosuke Akutagawa, directed by Akira Kurosawa.

A Japanese classic, Kurosawa’s film utilizes minimal sets and sparse locations to focus our attention on four main protagonists; each of whom offers a different perspective on one central event, the rape of a woman and subsequent murder of her husband. The film explores the subjectivity of truth and has been compared to Shakespeare’s King Lear.

Followed by film buff’s brunch in the BAC café.
