Biography

Shinobu Hashimoto se lance dans l'écriture de scénarios pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Sa tuberculose contractée à l'armée en 1938 le contraint à quatre ans d'hospitalisation. Pris sous l'aile de Mansaku Itami, grand scénariste et réalisateur japonais de l'époque, jusqu'à sa mort en 1946, Hashimoto se forme depuis la clinique.

Shinobu Hashimoto souhaite adapter Dans le fourré de Ryūnosuke Akutagawa. Il envoie le scénario à Akira Kurosawa, déjà très populaire, qui accepte de l'adapter en long-métrage sous le nom de Rashōmon. Le film connaîtra un immense succès à sa sortie en 1950, remportant un Lion d'or à la Mostra de Venise 1951 et un Oscar d'honneur du meilleur film étranger en 1952. Il sera l'auteur de plusieurs autres scénarios pour Kurosawa, notamment Les Sept Samouraïs, sorti en 1954.

Au total, il a réalisé trois films et écrit 73 scénarios entre 1950 et 1986.

Il meurt le 19 juillet 2018 à l'âge de 100 ans à Tokyo.

The film focuses on the lives of a variety of characters who happen to live in a rubbish dump. The first to be introduced is a mentally challenged boy who lives in a world of fantasy in which he is a tram conductor. He is both the tram and the tram driver and follows a set route and schedule through the dump; his dedication to the fantasy is fanatical. The film title refers to a Japanese onomatopoeia for the sound made by a tram or train while in motion ( "Do-desu-ka-den do-desu-ka-den do-desu-ka-den"). The sound is made by the boy as he makes his daily faux-tram route through the dump.

The story follows the life of Ryunosuke Tsukue (Tatsuya Nakadai), an amoral samurai and a master swordsman with an unorthodox style. Ryunosuke is first seen when he kills an elderly Buddhist pilgrim who he finds praying for death. He appears to have no feeling. Later, he kills an opponent in self-defense in a fencing competition that was intended to be non-lethal, but became a duel after he coerced his opponent's wife to have sex with him in exchange for throwing the match and allowing her husband to win. His opponent finds out about the affair prior to the match, and is shown giving his wife a notice of divorce. His rage at Ryunosuke during the match causes him to take an illegal lunging attack after the judge proclaims a draw, and Ryunosuke, the better swordsman, parries and kills him with one stroke of his bokken. Ryunosuke flees town after killing the man, and cuts down many of the dead opponent's clansmen who attack him as he is leaving. His opponent's ex-wife asks to go along with him. To make a living, Ryunosuke joins the Shinsengumi, a sort of semi-official police force made up of rōnin that supports the Tokugawa shogunate through murder and assassinations.

Three disparate travelers, a disillusioned preacher (William Shatner), an unsuccessful prospector (Howard Da Silva), and a larcenous, cynical con man (Edward G. Robinson), meet at a decrepit railroad station in the 1870s Southwest. The prospector and the preacher were witnesses at the memorable rape and murder trial of the notorious bandit Juan Carrasco (Paul Newman). The bandit duped an aristocratic Southerner, Colonel Wakefield (Lawrence Harvey), into believing he knew the location of a lost Aztec treasure. The greedy "gentleman" allowed himself to be tied up while Carasco assaulted his wife Nina (Claire Bloom). These events lead to the stabbing of the husband and Carrasco was tried, convicted, and condemned for the crimes.
