Considered one of Japanese director Akira Kurosawa’s masterpieces, this Oscar-winning crime drama unfolds as four witnesses to a rape and murder report their versions of the attack. But the chain of events depicted by the bandit (Toshiro Mifune), the rape victim (Machiko Kyo), the murdered man’s ghost (Masayuki Mori) and the woodcutter (Takashi Shimura) are not only different, they’re incompatible in Kurosawa’s examination of the nature of truth.

Seven Samurai, RAN, Throne of Blood, Rashomon… that's the order.
