One of the first Japanese films to receive worldwide acclaim, Rashomon is the twelfth-century tale of a murder, told from the multiple, irreconcilable perspectives of the crime’s participants and witnesses. The murdering bandit (Mifune), the spirit of the victim, the widow, and a woodcutter each retell their versions of the event as Kurosawa casts a critical eye on the unstable nature of truth.
