Jasper, this I did not know. Interesting. Even French subs would have given it more exposure.

And the other thing is that the film only played in Japanese with italian subtitles, with no english-friendly version, hence the British critics at the time in their write ups of the festival claimed the film was "hard to follow"!

Just checking a fact: did Kurosawa Akira actually attend Venice with Rashomon, meaning was he personally present at the festival?
