Rashomon

The tale of a tragic young bride, brutally ravaged and murdered, is recounted through the eyes of various individuals, while the story of her samurai husband's doomed fate serves as a poignant backdrop.

In this classic Japanese film, a priest and a woodcutter take shelter from a storm in a former gatehouse and recount the story of a murdered samurai. The samurai's wife and a bandit, Tajômaru, are also key witnesses, each telling a version of events that contradict each other. As the story unfolds, the woodcutter's own role in the events comes into question, forcing a re-evaluation of his humanity.
