Summary/Abstract: A masterpiece of Japanese and world cinema, Akira Kurosawa’s Rashomon (1950) refers to a new model of narration in film, and broadens horizons in mid-20th-century film but also film in current Times. Rashomon set out new paths and fields of exploration in film art and began a new era in modern narration in moving pictures. This study re-evaluates Kurosawa’s work as an innovative, trans-national and trans-cultural approach to world cinema.
