Rashomon

Movie • 1950 • Crime  

Report

Synopsis

Brimming with action while incisively examining the nature of truth, "Rashomon" is perhaps the finest film ever to investigate the philosophy of justice. Through an ingenious use of camera and flashbacks, Kurosawa reveals the complexities of human nature as four people recount different versions of the story of a man's murder and the rape of his wife.

In one version of the story, the samurai blames his wife for the rape, and she faints whilst holding a dagger, killing him. In another, the wife orders the bandit to kill the samurai

A woman is definitely raped, although it is implied that the woman might have enjoyed it in one version of the story

The bandit is in ropes for most of the film, and the samurai is also tied up by the bandit in some versions of the story

Story is about a rape; the assault is depicted on-screen, but is not particularly graphic.

The rape is actually off screen, the camera cuts away when it happens
