Trailer & Synopsis
This revolutionary psychological thriller shattered narrative conventions, presenting a single incident – the murder of a samurai – through the strikingly different testimonies of four witnesses. Each testimony unfolds through striking imagery and an ingenious use of flashbacks, highlighting the subjectivity of memory and the self-serving nature of human perception.
Rashōmon’s innovative non-linear narrative structure and its timeless exploration of the elusive nature of truth has cemented its place as a landmark achievement in cinema. In addition to being credited with introducing Japanese cinema to the West, it has influenced generations of filmmakers and inspired countless films.
