Este clásico drama japonés explora un crimen impactante —el asesinato de un samurái y el asalto a su esposa— desde cuatro perspectivas contradictorias. A través de estos relatos, la película profundiza en la naturaleza elusiva de la verdad y la memoria. Es una mirada cautivadora a la percepción humana.

In what seems like an endless, almost biblical, rainstorm we meet three people sheltering in the ruins of an old gatehouse. Each has their own story to tell of the rape of a woman and of the murder of her husband. It was the woodcutter (Takashi Shimura) who discovered the body and who alerted the authorities.…
