thanks, and our first film is Rashomon, which I Get why that one is the Kurosawa film as it basically launched an entire narrative style in media I just prefer some of his other films

Ringu and Audition I know will get me as I have a visceral reaction to finger/toe maiming

I'll put up with the political discussion as it's mostly a discussion class but don't mention shit like Space Pirates and Aliens in the blurb if none of that is going to be in the actual class syllabus

I'm one of those folks that thought Tokyo Story was beautiful but it's very slow-paced

They should have something like Ikiru. That's such a beautful Kurosawa movie.

I bet, but I can understand why Rashomon got picked

@mephron
Mon, Aug 28, 2023 2:27 PM
Oh, Rashomon is iconic, I agree. But one of his lesser known (in the US) movies might have been better.
