It’s Jeremiah’s pick… ‘Rashomon,’ the 1950 film by Akira Kurosawa, the premise of which has been emulated often over the decades. The film has appeared twice on Sight & Sound magazine’s decennial poll of the “greatest films” as voted on by directors – #10 in 1992 and #9 in 2002.00:00 - Intro + the last good movies we saw09:14 - About the show / expectations for ‘Rashomon’12:48 - About the film / open discussion55:15 - Favorite scenes or moments / the test of time / influence or relevance today59:28 - Bonus question: Which international/non-English language film is either your favorite or first made you want to explore more from that country or region?55:59 - Next week on Stereoactive Movie Club… / OutroProduced by Stereoactive Media

Alicia, Mia, Stephen, and Jeremiah – along with special guests – are discussing some of the greatest movies ever made. Who says? Sight And Sound magazine says. Every ten years, since 1952, the publication has surveyed critics and directors to determine which films, according to those surveyed, might be considered the best. The five film-loving friends take turns picking movies that have appeared on the list and then dig into them with an eye on their cultural impact, how they stand up today, and just whether they’re actually as good as all those critics and directors say they are.
