Rashomon
Synopsis: The rape of a bride and murder of her samurai husband are recalled from the perspectives of a bandit, the bride, the samurai’s ghost and a woodcutter.
AroView: The film that brought Kurosawa to the attention of the world, and an Oscar winner for Best Foreign Film. Four wildly varying perspectives on a rape and murder incident are told using three distinct cinematic styles, but forged by the director’s characteristic humanism.
