Seminal Japanese director Akira Kurosawa looking pretty damn dapper back in the days while sporting a hat and sunglasses apparently from John Ford. Based on these pictures, it wasn’t just his films that were stylish. I’ve only seen one of them, but the one I saw, “Ikiru” was a cinematic life changing movie.

I saw Roshomon this evening. It’s the story of a crime told from the viewpoint of four different people. It leaves you not knowing the truth…
It strikes me that Western movies have very specific rules for both plot development and characterization that aren’t really recognized at all my Japanese film, or at least Akira Kurosawa. And so Rashomon has for me a dream-like quality… but a gritty, unsettling dream.
Take cares.
