Rashomon Effects: Kurosawa, Rashomon and their legacies (Routledge Advances in Film Studies) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Akira Kurosawa's 1950 film Rashomon has arguably become the best known Japanese film of all time. This book addresses issues beyond the realm of Rashomon within film studies, and the Rashomon effect, which itself has become a widely recognized English term referring to significantly different perspectives of different eyewitnesses to the same dramatic event. The chapters address both the continuing and vibrant influence of Rashomon effects into the twenty-first century, as well as the director's manifold legacies to cinema, its global audiences and beyond, and will be welcomed by those interested in Japanese studies, film studies and world cinema.
