Not sure exactly what you mean, but I thought Shunji Iwai's *All 
About Lily Chou-chou* was a fairly vicious crime against Debussy -- 
not to mention teenagers, rape victims, cinema...

>>?Yes, I had the same feeling when I saw Rashomon recently.  But I wonder if
the problem shouldn't rather be attributed to Ravel.  Debussy, after all,
has managed so far to stay in the clear.

>  On Sep.26 Kurosawa's Rashomon was telecast.
>  Whenever I saw Rashomon I feel that the background music (composed by
>  Hayakawa ) sounds strange.
>  It is too similar to Bolero composed by Ravel.
>  I think if the music changed  the film would become better.
