Rashomon

RASHOMON cuenta la historia de un crimen por resolver, el de un samurái de grado medio que ha aparecido cerca de la carretera de Yamashina muerto de un solo y certero corte. Un varón adulto, de unos 40 años, de complexión recia, que parecía ir armado y acompañado. No hay muchas pistas sobre el asesino, solo un trozo de cuerda y una peineta, y tampoco hay testigos, solo informaciones contradictorias. Por suerte, el detective Heigo Kobayashi, protagonista indiscutible de este relato, se ocupa del caso.

A riveting psychological thriller that investigates the nature of truth and the meaning of justice, Rashomon is widely considered one of the greatest films ever made. Four people give different accounts of a man’s murder and the rape of his wife, which director Akira Kurosawa presents with striking imagery and an ingenious use of flashbacks. This eloquent masterwork and international ... There is a good dose of cynicism in Rashomon, with human nature shown to be selfish and for people to lie, or perhaps more delicately, to distort the truth through the lens of their own perception.
