Akira Kurosawa’shugely influential 1950 historical crime drama.
Winner of the top prize at the 1952 Venice Film Festival and an Honorary Academy Award the same year, the film concerns a woodcutter who witnesses a horrific series of events-an ambush, the rape of a noblewoman and the subsequent murder of her samurai husband by a bandit.
Yet, in the recounting of the incidents at the trial, differing versions come from all involved, thus raising questions about the reliability of subjective ‘truth’.
