Movie Review: Rashomon

Akira Kuwasawa's Rashomon is the closest I've ever seen to a Japanese mystery. It starts off with three men trapped out in the rain discussing different stories they have heard regarding the death of a man. All the different stories are in conflict with each other. Which is the truth? Who is lying? Put this together with an ending that I don't completely understand and that is the film. The best part is the dead man who tells no lies.

3 stars
