About the film: A groundbreaking film that explores the nature of truth and perspective. Set in feudal Japan, the story revolves around a crime involving the murder of a samurai and the assault of his wife. The film presents the event from four different perspectives: the accused bandit, the wife, the ghost of the murdered samurai, and a woodcutter who witnessed the incident. Each account differs significantly, raising questions about the reliability of perception and the subjective nature of truth. "Rashomon" is renowned for its innovative narrative structure and its profound philosophical themes, making it a seminal work in world cinema.
