Federico Fellini’s 8½ (1963) “‘8½’ is the best film ever made about filmmaking. … It does what is almost impossible: Fellini is a magician who discusses, reveals, explains and deconstructs his tricks, while still fooling us with them. He claims he doesn’t know what he wants or how to achieve it, and the film proves he knows exactly, and rejoices in his knowledge.” Roger Ebert | History of Cinema

On this day, 74 years ago, Rashomon (1950), directed by Akira Kurosawa, premiered in the United States.

Its American premiere on 26 December 1951 marked the beginning of Kurosawa’s global recognition and introduced Western audiences to Japanese cinema on an unprecedented scale. | History of Cinema
