Rashomon

Japan 1950 | 88 minutes | Japanese | Hebrew subtitles

On the background of the civil war which divided Japan in the middle ages, Akira Kurosawa's landmark film tells of an incident involving a samurai, his wife, and a bandit. The Samurai ends up dead, and several witnesses give their version of the event. Rashomon is a daring work that offers an examination of the art of storytelling and its stance on truth.
