Part of the “Enter the Samurai” Film Series sponsored by U-M Center for Japanese Studies.

Brimming with action while incisively examining the nature of truth, “Rashomon” is perhaps the finest film ever to investigate the philosophy of justice. Through an ingenious use of camera and flashbacks, Kurosawa reveals the complexities of human nature as four people recount different versions of the story of a man’s murder and the rape of his wife.
Written & Directed by AKIRA KUROSAWA.

Presented in Japanese with English subtitles.
