Rashomon

“Rashomon,” directed by Akira Kurosawa, is a groundbreaking film that explores the subjective nature of truth through the recounting of a crime from multiple perspectives. Set in feudal Japan, the story unfolds as a woodcutter, a priest, and a commoner discuss the varying testimonies of a bandit, a samurai’s wife, and the samurai himself, each offering a different version of the events surrounding a murder and assault.
