Rashômon

Truth climbs a slippery slope in Akira Kurosawa's Oscar-winning, compelling, intriguing, black-and-white 1950 classic, which is based on the novel In a Grove, when a Japanese man (Masayuki Mori) is found dead and four witnesses, including a medium (Noriko Honma) channeling the ghost of the deceased, his raped wife (Machiko Kyô), a notorious bandit (Toshirô Mifune), and a woodcutter (Takashi Shimura), who have four different accounts of the events surrounding the death in 12th century Japan.
