The film"s page
À l'abri de la pluie sous le portique d'un temple en ruine, un bonze et un vagabond évoquent le terrible procès auquel ils viennent d'assister. A leurs côté, un bûcheron les écoute. L'affaire : un célèbre bandit a été condamné pour le meurtre d’un samouraï et le viol de sa femme. Les versions du bandit, de l’épouse humiliée et même du défunt samouraï brouillent les pistes et rendent impossible la mise en lumière de toute éventuelle réalité.
Notes : Rashōmon peut évoquer le théâtre de l’écrivain et dramaturge italien Luigi Pirandello, notamment la pièce Six personnages en quête d'auteur écrite en 1921. Pourtant, le film s’inspire de deux nouvelles de l’écrivain japonais Ryûnosuke Akutagawa : Rashōmon écrit en 1915 et Yabu no naka (Dans les fourrés) écrit en 1922.
