Movie Night in Art Auditorium

Rhapsody in August by Akira Kurosawa
History Through Film

You will want to see this film by Akira Kurosawa! The short talk before, and the film itself, will answer many questions. What did a 1991 film address that previous cinematic depictions of the atomic bombings of Japan did not? Why did Kurosawa want to make it? How did historians and film critics receive it? What does it tell us about US-Japanese relations as the Cold War waned? What did Richard Gere look like in 1991?
