synopsis
Au Japon du XIe siècle, un samouraï est retrouvé mort. Quatre récits contradictoires sont livrés par un bûcheron, un bandit, l’épouse du samouraï et l’esprit de ce dernier, invoqué par une médium. Chacun propose une version différente du crime – mais qui dit la vérité ?
"Rashomon" is widely considered one of the greatest films ever made. Four people give different accounts of a man’s murder, which director Akira Kurosawa presents with striking imagery and an ingenious use of flashbacks. This eloquent masterwork and international sensation revolutionized film language and introduced Japanese cinema – and a commanding new star by the name of Toshiro Mifune – to the Western world.
Criterion Collection
"Rashomon" changed how we perceive film as well as human behavior. For us subjective creatures, the truth is constantly elusive.
Alan Rudolph
Every element in the film, from the dense thicket of forest branches to master cinematographer Kazuo Miyagawa’s deceptive framing and lighting design, is precisely calibrated to make the facts more difficult to discern.
