Since his groundbreaking Rashomon burst on the international scene in 1950, Akira Kurosawa has been considered one of the most influential directors in film history. Film scholar Francine J. Sanders returns to explore Kurosawa’s vision and body of work, ranging from his legendary samurai films to his masterpieces set in contemporary times. On June 30, we’ll screen and discuss Rashomon, Kurosawa’s unforgettable examination of the nature of truth. Come back next week (July 7) for Ikiru, the story of an elderly bureaucrat who is forced to examine the meaning of his life.
