In ancient Japan, a woman is raped and her husband killed.Rashomon is played out by giving us four stories - with every story revealing different points of view. The question remains - just which version is the truth? Rashomon was remade with Paul Newman as The Outrage (1964) and also credited by director Bryan Singer as his inspiration for the Oscar-winning 1995 film The Ususal Suspects. Kurosawa’s breakthrough movie to the West, winning the 1951 Oscar for Best Foreign Film - Rashomon remains one of the truly great films of the 20th Century.
