Avg. Rating:	4.5 / 5 (based on 6 ratings). What did you think of it?
Plot:	Director Kurosawa reveals the complexities of human nature as four people recount different versions of the story of a man's murder and the rape of his wife.
Overview:	In 12th-century Japan, a wealthy merchant and his wife are ambushed by a famous bandit. The bandit rapes the wife and kills the husband... or does he? Akira Kurosawa's classic film recounts the crime from four separate points-of-view--that of the bandit, the wife, the dead man, and a lowly peasant--with each character offering a vastly differing version of the same story.
