Rashomon (羅生門) is a Japanese motion picture made in 1950 by director Akira Kurosawa. It is one of Kurosawa's masterpieces, starring Toshiro Mifune. Based on two stories by Akutagawa Ryunosuke (Rashomon and In a Grove) it describes a crime through the widely differing accounts of four witnesses, including the perpetrator. Rashomon was one of three films on which Kurosawa collaborated with master cinematographer Kazuo Miyagawa.
The 1964 western movie the The Outrage, was a remake of Rashomon. It starred Paul Newman, Claire Bloom and Edward G. Robinson.
