Rating: 8.4/10
Cast: Toshirō Mifune,Masayuki Mori,Machiko Kyō,Takashi Shimura,Minoru Chiaki
Directed: Akira Kurosawa
Genre: Crime | Drama | Mystery
Runtime: 88 minutes
Country: Japan
Language: Japanese
Subtitles: ENGLISH Italian, and Portuguese-BR. Czech .srt
Plot:
The film depicts the rape of a woman and the murder of her samurai husband, through the widely differing accounts of four witnesses, including the bandit/rapist, the wife, the dead man speaking through a medium (Fumiko Honma), and lastly the narrator, the one witness that seems the most objective and least biased. While the stories are mutually contradictory only the final version is unmotivated by other factors. Accepting the final version as the truth (the now common technique of film and TV of only explaining the truth last was not a universal approach at that time) explains why in each other version "the truth" was worse than admitting to the killing, and it is precisely this assessment which gives the film its power, and this theme which is echoed in other works.
