Rashomon
"Rashomon" is possibly the best film that has ever investigated the concept of justice since it is filled to the brim with action while also conducting an in-depth investigation into the nature of truth. In an ingenious use of the camera and flashbacks, Kurosawa reveals the complexities of human nature as four people tell different versions of the story of a man's murder and the rape of his wife. The story begins with the murder of the man, who was married, and continues with the rape of the man's wife.
