Marsha McGhie Left, in spite of the bandit's roughness and crudity, the samurai's wife finds she is fascinated by him. Right, the Medium is brought into the court to bring from the land of the dead the samurai's version of his death. Bottom Left, the wife's mother must at last confess that her child was not really a fine lady, much in demand by all the young men, but rather the daughter of a kitchen maid in the palace of the samurai. Bottom right, the wigmaker taunts the woodcutter for not having confessed to the police that he witnessed the murder of the samurai. Adapted by Fay and Michael Kanin from the short stories on which Akira Kurocawa based his celebrated film, "Rashomon" has a simple framework. A woodcutter and a priest debate a murder trial that has worried both of them. They explain their qualms to a grimy wigmaker. What follows is a series of flashbacks to the events in a court. The preliminaries are a samurai, traveling with his young bride, was waylaid by a bandit who trussed him up, then raped his wife; the husband was later impaled on a sword. But who did the impaling? Three incompatible stories are told, each of which is acted as a separate playlet. The bandit boasts he slew the mighty samurai in equal combat. The wife claims that, having been ravished, she killed her husband rather than face his icy contempt. The husband himself, speaking from the dead through the lips of a contorted medium, insists that he committed harakiri. Who is telling the truth? None of them, says the woodcutter who confesses to his companions that he witnessed the whole incident. He gives an objective and less heroic account. Yet he, too is shown to have lied.
