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

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