Each month the Lyric Theatre spotlights a different filmmaker (director, writer, actor, etc). In January, we spotlight Akira Kurosawa.

Through an ingenious use of camera and flashbacks, Kurosawa reveals the complexities of human nature as four people recount different versions of the story of a man's murder and the rape of his wife.
