Drang naar Samenhang | #80 Zomerfilms 3 - Rashomon

Tijdens de zomer bespreken we om de week een film die gaat over één van de thema’s die we in onze podcast behandelen. Vandaag bespreken we de film Rashomon (1950) waarin we horen over eenzelfde gebeurtenis, de moord op een samoerai, van verschillende betrokkenen, namelijk de houthakker die het lichaam vindt, de vrouw van de samoerai, de samoerai zelf en de bandiet die beiden heeft overvallen in het bos. De verklaringen van deze personages komen niet overeen waardoor je als kijker met de vraag zit wat er nu precies is gebeurd. Heb je de film (nog) niet gezien, dan kun je hier lezen hoe je deze gratis kunt bekijken. Je vindt hier ook een samenvatting van de film: https://rolfzwaan.blogspot.com/2023/07/zomerfilms-3-rashomon.html De Japanse auteur op wiens naam Rolf kon komen in deze aflevering is Keigo Higashino. Meer over het geheugen kun je horen in de afleveringen 46, 56, 68 en 77. Over persoonlijke identiteit gaat het onder andere in de afleveringen 16 en 45. Onderzoek: Dr. Anita Eerland, prof.dr.
