Rashomon
Description:
Rashomon is a landmark 1950 Japanese drama directed by Akira Kurosawa that probes the nature of truth through the conflicting testimonies surrounding a samurai's murder and a wife's assault. In a rain-soaked, sunless forest near Kyoto, four characters—a woodcutter, a priest, a traveling broker, and the wife—relate separate versions of the same incident, each revealing bias, memory gaps, and desire. The film's revolutionary structure, stark visuals, and psychological intensity forever altered world cinema.Keywords:
