date rape Rashomon
17 September 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Gianni is a hound dog. Tina is out walking her dog. He follows her in his car. She agrees to go on a date. They go to a dance club. She goes back to his apartment complex. She returns home with a torn dress. Her mother is distressed about the dress until she tells her about a harrowing escape from the lecherous Gianni. Next we see the story as Gianni recounts the night to his buddies. The third is the peeping Tom doorman who recounts a wild night of debauchery. Finally, the truth is revealed.

This is essentially a Rashomon tale of a date rape allegation. It has some great possibility of drama. The first two is a story of he said, she said. That's fine. The third one goes off the deep end. I kept thinking how the creep would know what's being said inside the room. The answer is he wouldn't. It's all lies from a crazed pervert. It's supposed to be funny but humor is hard to translate especially here. I really don't see the humor although the situation is a rather modern one.
