rashomon

i really have tones of things to do these days, so i don't really have time to write my posts properly. Rashomon is the first Akira Kurosawa movie that i watch and i must admit being impressed. The plot is built around several accounts of a murder mystery [which reminded me of "Twelve angry men", but this might be juts me] which drive to several considerations on life and people and stuff. Pretty much the usual Japanese type of story, with the associated bits of wisdom and tradition. However, i appreciated the way the movie was directed quite a lot, so i can hardly wait to watch some more Kurosawa films. Seven Samurai and Yojimbo will probably follow.
