Grade: C7 Fine to Very Fine. Folded, single-sided. Prior to restoration this was a theater-used poster with minor handling/surface/fold wear. Would grade much higher if not for one clean pin hole in each corner, a bit of cross-fold separation, and some minor tears <1". The restoration required very little work and now presents as very fine to near mint from normal viewing distances.

Rashomon is one of the most important and influential films in the history of cinema. It redefined the narrative structure of film, re-telling the same tragic event from the perspective of four different witnesses — showing how ego, deception, bias and perception enter into the various accounts. Its influence has transcended film into the worlds of journalism and criminal justice where the “”Rashomon effect” is now a widely accepted phenomenon calling into question the reliability and contradictions of even first-hand witnesses.

This striking poster celebrates Rashomon’s win at the Venice Film Festival in 1951 — the first major award on the world stage for any Japanese film. There was still a huge American presence in Japan in the early 1950s so two posters styles were produced, one in Japanese and one in English, each with unique artwork. Do not miss out on this extremely rare poster for one of the greatest and most important films ever made.
