Summary
A nobleman escorting his wife through a remote area is killed and his wide is raped. The story is told from four points of view. Each story is mutually contradictory, leaving the viewer unable to determine the truth of the events. Rashōmon 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
