A library staff member will lead a virtual film discussion every other Tuesday on a movie from either Kanopy or Hoopla
This riveting psychological thriller that investigates the nature of truth and the meaning of justice is widely considered one of the greatest films ever made.
Four people give different accounts of a man's murder and the rape of his wife, which director Akira Kurosawa presents with striking imagery and an ingenious use of flashbacks. This eloquent masterwork and international sensation revolutionized film language and introduced Japanese cinema--and a commanding new star by the name of Toshiro Mifune--to the Western world.
Winner of Best Foreign Film at the 1952 Academy Awards
Running Time 89 mins

The 1501 Ellinwood Street library building is the realization of a longheld dream of the library board, staff and community partners. Located in the heart of downtown Des Plaines, the four story, 82,000 square foot building represents the community's commitment to reading, lifelong learning, and a center for family activities. A grand central staircase and large windows provide a wealth of natural light and illuminate the building at night.
