Machiko Kyō (Japanese: 京 マチ子 Hepburn: Kyō Machiko, March 25, 1924 – May 12, 2019) was a Japanese actress whose film work occurred primarily during the 1950s. She rose to extraordinary domestic praise in Japan for her work in two of the greatest Japanese films of the 20th century, Akira Kurosawa's Rashōmon and Kenji Mizoguchi's Ugetsu. Machiko trained to be a dancer before entering films in 1949. The following year, she would achieve international fame as the female lead in Akira Kurosawa's classic film Rashōmon. Kyō starred in many more Japanese productions, including Kenji Mizoguchi's Ugetsu (1953) and Street of Shame (1956), Teinosuke Kinugasa's Gate of Hell (1953), Kon Ichikawa's Odd Obsession (1959), Yasujirō Ozu's Floating Weeds (1959), and Hiroshi Teshigahara's The Face of Another (1966). Her only role in a non-Japanese film was as Lotus Blossom, a young geisha, in The Teahouse of the August Moon, starring opposite Marlon Brando and Glenn Ford. In her eighties, Kyō continued to perform in traditional Japanese theatrical productions put on by famed producer Fukuko Ishii. Her final role was as Matsuura Shino in the NHK television drama series Haregi Koko Ichiban in 2000. Kyō was nominated for a Golden Globe for The Teahouse of the August Moon, a great feat for an Asian actress at the time, and was awarded many prizes, including a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Awards of the Japanese Academy.

Olaya tanıklık eden üç kişi vardır: Bir gezgin, oduncu ve bir haydut. İzleyici olarak mahkeme bizizdir ve tanıkların hikayelerini dinleriz. Tecavüze uğramış kadın da dahil, hepsinin anlattığı hikayeler birbirinden farklıdır. Öldürülen adamın da olaya tanıklığını izlediğimiz filmde çözülmesi zor bir bulmacayla karşı karşıyayızdır: İçlerinden birileri yalan söylemektedir ancak kim ve neden? Film, 20. yy.'ın başlarında yaşamış yazar Ryunosuke Akutagawa'nın Ormanın Sıklığı isimli kitabının uyarlaması. Ancak, toplam süresi 60 dakikayı pek geçmeyine yazarın diğer kitabı Rashômon'dan alınan kestilerin eklenmesiyle film son halini almış. Japon sinemasının ustalarından Kurosawa'nın bu filmi pek ödüllendirilmemişse de oldukça başarılı. Rashômon insan psikolojisi üzerinde duran ve yalanın sınırlarını zorlayan bir Japon draması.

Film7.5DramBu ikinci renkli filminde, Kenji Mizoguichi’nin favori görüntü yönetmeni Kazuo Miyagawa’yla çalışan Yasujiro Ozu, gelişen ustalığını geniş bir renk paletiyle kanıtladığı iyi düzenlenip yönetilmiş bir son dönem eseri ortaya koydu. Ozu’nun o yıllarda yönettiği bir dizi yeniden çevrimden biri olan bu film, "dalgalanan otlar" isimli gezici bir oyuncu grubunun maceralarına odaklanırken, diğer taraftan yönetmenin aile içi ve kuşaklararası etkileşime olan hayranlığını da gösterir. Ozu’nun 1934 tarihli daha komik ve dramatik filmi Dalgalanan Otların Hikayesine tezat teşkil edercesine, bu filmin sonbahara özgü, nostaljik ve felsefi bir havası vardır. Huzurlu kompozisyonlarıyla görüntünün ve sesin "damıtılmış" birlikteliği, filmin kalitesini gözler önüne serer.
