Film Review: Rashômon (1950)

I love watching classic black and white movies!  Back in the black and white era, directors and actors had to put a lot more creativity in how they presented their story, due to the lack of special effects and digital technology. While some of the props might not be as realistic as what we would see in today’s’ films, it gives me high respect for the films of this era.

Rashômon is a film I happened upon while I was browsing through Netflix a while back.  Though it’s supposed to be considered an occult classic, I had never actually heard of it. I just happened upon the title while I was browsing.  I am a sucker for both black & white & Japanese films, so Rashomon was an automatic add to my “To Watch List.”
