- Summary
- This allegorical tale, set in 8th-century medieval Japan, is a metaphysical study of truth and reality. In a country wracked by famine and chaos, a woodcutter, a priest, and a peasant are caught in a rainstorm and wait under the ruined gate of Kyoto for the deluge to cease. While they rest and attempt to keep dry, the woodcutter relates a story concerning his discovery, in the forest, of the corpse of a wealthy man. In a series of four flashbacks, the circumstances surrounding the man's death are recounted from four points of view. A bandit, the nobleman, the nobleman's wife and the woodcutter himself tell a tale of rape and murder. This film represented the opening of Japanese cinema to the West and was remade in the U.S. as The Outrage. (Does not circulate).
