Rashōmon (film)

"Rashōmon" (1950), directed by Akira Kurosawa, is a film that explores the nature of truth and human morality through the perspective of four different narrators recounting the same incident—a man accused of theft and murder. Each version offers a different interpretation, highlighting how perception and personal bias influence reality. Set in ancient Japan, the film uses a minimalist courtyard setting to delve into themes of honesty, deception, and the ambiguity of human motives. It’s a thought-provoking masterpiece that challenges viewers to consider the relativity of truth and the complexity of human nature.
